Ecology Bordon Inclosure is a shaded valley of the River Wey that is wooded with mixed plantation. The vegetation here was surveyed in 20108 and appears to mainly derive from 19th and 20th century landscape planting. Veteran trees are also present and along the river corridor is ancient alder woodland with swamp habitats, particularly in the south of the enclosure.

The whole valley is thickly vegetated with a dense understorey. The River Wey has high levels of naturalness with tree lined banks, mature islands, side bars and large woody debris habitats.
