Gazetted in April 1996, Torrington State Conservation Area (SCA) contains 30,030 hectares of open woodland and shrubby forest with occasional granite outcrops. It is a major vegetation remnant of the New England Tablelands and provides an important link between the northern forests of the Tablelands and the open woodlands of the North-western Slopes and Plains.
Torrington SCA is important for regional nature-based recreation, while the tourism it attracts benefits local economies. Its popularity as a major fossicking destination in New South Wales, and the range of nature-based recreation opportunities provided, contribute to the overall significance of Torrington SCA for recreation.
