All 7 reserves that make up the Central Monaro Reserves arose out of the Southern Region Forest Agreement, and were identified for reservation because they contain plant communities under-represented in the region. These communities include Eastern Tableland dry  shrub/grass forest and Central Tablelands/ACT Montane dry shrub forest, both of which are very poorly represented in conservation reserves.

As tree covered islands in an undulating grassland, the reserves are important from a habitat and landscape perspective. They also provide important natural links for animal movements.
