The reserve occurs within the South Eastern Highlands Bioregion and is located within the Central West Catchment. The area is characterised by undulating slopes, broad gullies and low ridges. A total of 226 native plants have been recorded in the reserve.

The woodlands in the reserve generally have a poor conservation status in NSW and are considered to be vulnerable and inadequately conserved. The low shrub density of these woodlands allows this niche to be filled by terrestrial orchids. The reserve is considered to be an orchid “hotspot”, with 48 species (17 genera) of orchids being recorded.
