The Arboretum plays an important role in the conservation of rare trees from many temperate regions of the world, but is also of considerable interest for local wildlife.

A number of surveys have been carried out to identify features of nature conservation interest within the Arboretum. Some of the surveys concentrated on the ponds and Sand Banks area where flowering plants were recorded and surveys made of the aquatic insects and amphibians associated with the ponds.
