This 47-hectare reserve features a mix of native woodlands, grassy understories, and riparian zones that support a diverse range of wildlife including numerous bird species, reptiles, and native mammals. The reserve lies within the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people and holds cultural significance alongside its ecological value. Historically, the land was subject to grazing and clearing, but conservation efforts have focused on restoring native vegetation and protecting remnant ecosystems.

The reserve offers opportunities for nature study, birdwatching, photography, and education about native plants and local wildlife. It serves as a green space close to urban areas, promoting community engagement and outdoor recreation. Notable features include stands of mature eucalypts and an intact riparian corridor that supports habitat connectivity in the region.
