Bundjalung and Jackywalbin State Conservation Areas conserve swamp and grassy sclerophyll forest and freshwater wetlands. They are an important part of the catchment of the Bungawalbin wetland. Two endangered ecological communities and 12 threatened flora species are contained within the reserves. Fauna surveys have recorded 122 fauna species, of which 54 are listed as threatened species.

The state conservation areas are of spiritual significance and contemporary importance to the Bandjalang Aboriginal people.
