The nature reserve is home to to many species, including a few protected plants. On the surface of the Horní Bartošovický pond, the critically endangered Salvinia (Salvinia natans) grows there and in the wetland of the forest pond, there can be found the endangered anaquatic plant with white blossoms – Water Violet (Hottonia palustris). The reserve is an important nesting place of protected birds. The Eurasian Bittern (Botaurus stellaris), the Western Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus), the Water Rail (Rallus aquaticus) and the Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) can be observed nesting in the reedbeds.
