Explanatory Note

Ecological areas are held for conservation purposes to protect indigenous intrinsic natural values and resources, ecological and evolutionary systems, and in particular to protect values of scientific interest.

Protected area status for this land will protect a large, compact altitudinal sequence of coastal, plateau and mountain land forms and little modified vegetation associations from near sea-level to the tops of the Glasgow Range, a key site for two species of large native land snails Powelliphanta lignaria johnstoni and P.l. rotella, the stronghold of a locally endemic daisy Celmisia morganii and good populations of forest birds.
