The bog has some waterholes and old peat pits which are now mostly concealed by thickets of primarily downy birch and grey willow.

Especially downy birch and grey willow dominate but on the meadows there is also globeflower, branched bur-reed, western marsh orchid, saw-wort and Irish fleabane.

Due to the location between the nesting grounds Egå Engsø and Brabrand Lake there's an especially varied population of birds including thrush nightingale eurasian penduline tit, water rail, western marsh harrier, common kestrel and grey heron.

In the 2010s the bog will undergo a rewilding project that will introduce Galloway cattle and later possibly water buffalo and wild horses.

[9] The bog has received polluted water through the stream of Moseåen between 1870 and the 1970s, mostly heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and a smaller amount of cadmium, but also copper and zinc.
