Scheyville National Park protects a large area of the remaining Cumberland Plain woodland in western Sydney. The park is important for its range of vegetation associations, including threatened species and communities, the wetland values of Longneck Lagoon, and the range of wetland and forest birds which use the park.
Scheyville National Park also has significant historical values associated with over 100 years of use for public purposes. It contains a range of historic features relating to its use for farming, training, migration and military activities. It also contains important evidence of past Aboriginal occupation of the area.
Pitt Town Nature Reserve protects Pitt Town Lagoon which is an extremely important wetland area for western Sydney, especially for migratory birds.
