Cuilcagh Mountain contains a unique and interesting collection of habitats, geophysical and biological features and has the second largest expanse of intact blanket bog in Northern Ireland. The summit contains a good example of montane heath, a scarce habitat in Northern Ireland. Limestone grassland occurs on the lower slopes. Cuilcagh Mountain falls within the West Fermanagh and Erne Lakeland Environmentally Sensitive Area and the majority of the land has been managed under ESA agreement since 1993. Plant and invertebrate communities were monitored in 1999 to determine the effect of current designations on aspects of the biodiversity of Cuilcagh Mountain.
