The diverse topography with both deep and thin soils and resultant soil hydrology at Dunnaree Hill has enabled the development of a complex range of species - rich wet and dry grasslands. Often these differences in type are evident over quite small areas and locally form mosaics of semi - natural grassland types, for example rush pasture. and where drier conditions exist, lowland meadow.
