Pur essendo esteso parecchio in altitudine, quasi raggiungendo con Pizzi Deneri, a quota 2800, la parte sommitale del vulcano, lo sviluppo delle aree naturali è limitato rispetto alle zone antropizzate. Infatti tutta l'area collinare, dai 300 ai 1000 m. circa si presenta coltivata. Nella fascia più bassa, a partire con il confine con Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, ritroviamo una sempreverde, il terebinto o "scornabeccu", che insieme al rovo, alla ferula, alla felce aquilina, al ricino caratterizza questi luoghi. Ad 800–1000 metri di altitudine troviamo sia boschi di castagno e roverella che terreni destinati al pascolo e alberati là dove prima c'erano seminativi e vigneti abbandonati. Proseguendo verso quota 1700 ecco comparire esemplari di pino laricio e di betulla dell'Etna. Sul fronte lavico troviamo la vegetazione tipicamente pioniera: saponaria, astragalo, ginestra.
