Pembroke Natura 2000 contains a mixture of Mediterranean habitats, with its natural landscape dominated by limestone garrigue and steppe. Nevertheless, several parts of the locality, particularly around St Clare’s College, have been afforested and contain established tree cover.
The trees in this area are evergreen like holm oak, aleppo pines, carob and lentisk meaning they provide essential shade throughout the year benefitting many species of birds, reptiles and insects. Pembroke Natura 2000 is ecologically important because its scattered trees, shrubs, garrigue and temporary rock pools together support a diverse range of native and protected species. 🌲🌳
