Lumber Wood is listed in the English Nature Ancient Woodland Inventory. It consists mainly of mature sycamore which have been thinned and coppiced, and sweet chestnut ranging in age from saplings to mature trees. Dense clumps of suckering elm together with occasional hawthorn and elder form the scrub layer. A number of ornamental shrubs including rhododendron and poplar have been planted in the wood particularly along the eastern edge. The ground flora of the wood is quite varied. Plants of interest growing in the wet conditions of the woodland floor include ramsons, opposite-leaved golden saxifrage, brooklime and watercress. In the drier conditions, nettle, bluebell and bracken predominate.
