The Creek systems that flow through the reserves support specialised vegetation types and habitat types. The park also contains some of the last remaining heath and stringy bark open forest (Eucalyptus oblique) on the Fleurieu Peninsula and of She-Oak (Allocasuarina Verticulata), Pink Gum (Eucalyptus fasciculosa) woodland once home to the Black Glossy Cockatoo.

Even though the aim of the project is to provide additional trees for food when the Black Glossy Cockatoos return to the mainland establishment of, She-Oak woodlands will also provide additional food souse and habitat for other regionally rare species such as Firetails. This project is funded in partnership with Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife as apart of the plant a tree for me program.
