The land is privately owned but managed by Halland County Council.
Skärte consists of two hills, covered with oak forest.
In the ravine runs a stream, Stenån, which also passes through the nearby Gässlösa.
In the ravine there are various vascular plants, such as Remote sedge, Marsh Hawksbeard, Ostrich fern, Wood Stitchwort, Whorled Solomon's-seal, and Kidneywort.
Old maps show that Skärte was not covered with forest in the 17th century, but was probably pasture.
