In the forest stand of fresh pine coniferous forest, there  dominates Scots pine. In depressions and on the edges of water reservoirs, there grow also  silver birch and common aspen. On the bottom of the forest there are light mossy pillows – large white moss. In more fertile places, we can meet also other mosses, grasses and blueberries.

The poorest places, especially on dunes, are covered with (Subcontinental) lichen Scots pine forests (Cladonio-Pinetum) with lichens from claddoniaceae family living on the bottom of the forest. (Subcontinental) lichen Scots pine forests (Cladonio-Pinetum) are included to valuable forest complexes, which area has been decreasing lately.

Small area cover beech forests and oak – hornbeam forests. Beech forests (Luzulo pilosae-Fagetum)are mainly located in the northern part of sub-district Brody.

Oak – hornbeam forests occur within more fertile habitats, that is why they were taken over by agricultural cultivations yet in historic times.  In the tree layer, there are English oak  and common hornbeam with admixture of elm and fraximus. In the layer of undrwood, there grow hazel, spindle, anemone nemorosa and yellow archangel.

East of Lubsko, there is very valuable of oak – elm – fraxinus riparian forest complex with very rich ground cover, where grows spring snowflake and  snowdrops.

Along streams and rivers, as well as in Lubsza Valley there are riparian forests. The main tree here is alder. On the most wet swamps, with standing water, there occur alder forests. Not very close forest stand presents here black alder.

In the forests of the Forest District Lubsko, there is very rich world of animals, plants and mushrooms. Apart from numerous stags, deer and wild boars, there one can meet rare  species of mammals , such as wolf for which large close forest complexes are the  chance for maintaining its population. There also occur many bats' breeding colonies and places of their hibernation, as well as there are nests of 65 birds species, among others black stark, sea hawk and white - tailed eagle.
