Deer Vale and Muldiva Nature Reserves contain rainforest communities, while Bagul Waajaarr Nature Reserve contains moist eucalypt forest ecosystems.
The endangered Dorrigo daisy has been recorded in Deer Vale Nature Reserve as well as the rare Dorrigo waratah and pink cherry. The diversity of habitats in the reserves are likely to provide for a range of threatened animal species including the Hastings River mouse, stuttering frog, spotted-tailed quoll, brush-tailed rock wallaby and the powerful, masked and sooty owls.
