When Street Heath was proposed in 1913, it was noted for scarce plants and insects and had already been reduced to an island of peat by drainage and cutting. Today, it is a good example of habitats once common in the Somerset Levels. It is a patchwork of wet and dry heath, bog and damp woodland, where yellow flag iris, marsh fern and heath spotted orchid can be seen. It is especially important for butterflies and moths. Now managed by the Somerset Wildlife Trust.
