The Park has a rich diversity of vegetation communities which in turn has resulted in the number of species of mammals occurring within the Park being greater than for any other area of comparable size in Australia. The Park incorporates the former Tooloom Scrub Flora Reserve which is included on the World Heritage list as part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA) World Heritage Area.
The diverse vegetation communities have given rise to one of the richest fauna assemblages in Australia, with an exceptional variety of macropods and birds in particular. Consequently the Park is of high scientific value and has been used for scientific research for many years.
