The woodland is part of the East Dartmoor Woods and Heaths National Nature Reserve.[1] The entire area is 777 acres (3.14 km2) while Yarner Wood is 365 acres (1.48 km2). Since 1985 the site has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[2] Many types of tree grow in Yarner Wood including oak, birch, scots pine, larch and beech.
