The most widespread tree species in the local area are oak, hornbeam, hazel, chestnut, while on the slopes facing South, there Mediterranean plants and trees, such as holm oaks, terebinth, phyrilea and broom. Further up the mountains, there are extensive beech woods, and rarer species such as sycamore, rowan, and yew. There is a rich undergrowth: mushrooms, wild fruits and flowers, such as anemones, gentians, lilies and orchids. Among the animals, there are hares, martens, squirrels, boars, while the birds are the cuckoo, the owl, and the Eurasian eagle owl. The area around Roviano is in a privileged position, between the natural parks of the Lucretili mountains and the Simbruini mountains.
