The vast wild areas include specimens of the Pinus sylvestis,
Quercus petraea, Pinus uncinata, beeches, oaks as well as
birches, holm oaks, pines and holly trees. Specimens of the
Ulmus glabra, limes, maples, elms, yews and ash trees are
scattered throughout the park.
Sierra Cebollera has a rich fauna including
birds of prey such as goshawks, sparrow hawks, falcons,
specimens of the Buteo buteo, eagles (Circaëtus gallicus,
Hieraëtus pennatus) and owls (Strix aluco). The high
areas of the park are the habitat of partridges (Perdix
perdix). The mammals are represented by foxes, wild boars,
deers, squirrels and wildcats. The rivers are home to otters
and the Galemys pyrenaicus.
At Villoslada, a nearby municipality, is
set the Centro de Interpretación del Parque Natural.
This centre provides audio-visual materials and educational
activities about the natural resources of the area. At San
Andrés there is a exhibition of the traditional tools
and instruments that were used by the inhabitants of the
Cameros area, where is located the Sierra Cebollera.
