Located at Sweetmans Creek, Corrabare North Flora Reserve adjoins the northern boundary of Corrabare State Forest, which separates it from the much smaller Corrabare South Flora Reserve.

Corrabare North Flora Reserve links up with areas of native forest that form a regional habitat corridor for wildlife. This corridor connects conservation lands on the escarpment with those on the coastal plain, from Yengo and Wollemi national parks in the west to Watagans and Werakata national parks in the east.

The landscapes of Corrabare North and South flora reserves feature rocky outcrops, overhangs and caves, as well as intermittent streams that make good habitat for amphibians. This rugged terrain and its natural vegetation are home to forest owls and other tree-dwelling animals. 

In total, 23 threatened native animal species have been recorded within or less than 1km from the reserves, which are thought to have regional importance for koalas.

About flora reserves 

Flora reserves were established under the Forestry Act 2012 and remain State Forest. Under a unique management arrangement, this land is managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. This ensures management is consistent with the adjoining national parks, which are also being managed for their cultural values and for koala conservation.
