Aller Brook has a mosaic of very varied habitats, which together support a wide range of flora and fauna. The site is dominated by a patchwork of flowery grassland and scrub with other habitats including reedbeds and the river itself. Many species of flowering plants have been recorded, including a large Bee Orchid colony, a scarce plant in Teignbridge District. Aller Brook is very closely linked with the Teign Estuary and is used as a green corridor by many different species of wildlife. These include a wide range of butterflies, grasshoppers and dragonflies. Kingfishers and otters have also been spotted here.
