The reserves have a combined area of 6,468 hectares and conserve areas of ridge and hilltop woodland surrounded by natural grasslands. Six species of native animals listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 have been identified on the reserves.
Evidence of Aboriginal use has been found across the reserves. In addition, a number of old mine shafts remain in the reserves from gold, copper, nickel and tin mining in the area in the late 1800s.
The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 requires that a plan of management be prepared for each nature reserve. A plan of management is a legal document that outlines how an area will be managed in the years ahead.
