Whitmoor Common is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest covering 166 hectares (410 acres). It includes heathland and woodland; a network of paths makes it easily accessible to the public. Although the practice has long been discontinued, at one time bracken on the common was cut down in the autumn to provide winter bedding for farm animals.
