The reserve contains an important remnant of subtropical rainforest on the Manning River floodplain, and represents one of the few remaining floodplain rainforest remnants in the 400 km between the Hunter and the Clarence Rivers. Lowland rainforest on floodplain covers less than 1000 hectares in NSW, and the remaining stands are often small and isolated. Consequently, this vegetation community has been declared an endangered ecological community under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act).
