- ‘Least concern’ ecosystem 11.8.2a (Eucalyptus tereticornis predominates and together with other tree species forms a distinct but discontinuous canopy (14-23m high). Eucalyptus melliodora is usually present in the canopy and often is codominant. Scattered E. longirostrata, E. saligna or E. grisea may be present on wetter sites while Angophora floribunda and occasional E. microcarpa occur on the less, well-drained depressions and flat areas. Scattered tall and lower shrubs are usually present, but rarely form conspicuous layers. The ground layer is dense and dominated by perennial grasses. Occurs on steep slopes of hills and mountains (subregion 23) formed from basalt. The soils are generally shallow (< 60 cm deep), brown to grey-brown, gradational, clay-loams and clays. Basalt stones and boulders can occur on the surface.)
- ‘Least concern’ ecosystem 11.8.5 (Eucalyptus orgadophila open woodland. Eucalyptus orgadophila predominates and forms a distinct but discontinuous canopy sometimes with other sub-dominant species such as Corymbia erythrophloia, E. melanophloia and occasionally E. crebra. Shrubs are usually scarce and scattered although a well-defined shrubby layer does develop in some areas. On the lower slopes at better sites, softwood scrub species may form tall and low shrub layers under the canopy of Eucalyptus orgadophila. The ground layer is moderately dense to dense, and dominated by species that include the grasses Aristida lazaridis, A. ramosa, Bothriochloa ewartiana, Dichanthium sericeum, Chrysopogon fallax, Heteropogon contortus, Enneapogon gracilis, Themeda triandra and Tragus australianus and the herbs Brunoniella australis, Evolvulus alsinoides, Galactia tenuiflora and Indigofera linnaei. Occurs on undulating plains, rises, low hills or sometimes flat tablelands on top of mountains, formed from basalt. Generally soils are shallow to moderately shallow, often rocky or stony clays.)
- ‘Least concern’ ecosystem 11.8.8 (Woodland usually dominated by either Eucalyptus albens or E. crebra. Eucalyptus tereticornis is an associated species that becomes locally dominant on creek lines. Other tree species that may be present include Callitris baileyi, Angophora subvelutina, Brachychiton populneus, E. melliodora, E. orgadophila, Angophora floribunda, E. moluccana, E. microcarpa, E. biturbinata, E. melanophloia and Corymbia clarksoniana. There is often a sparse low tree layer dominated by similar species to the canopy. The shrub layer is absent or sparse and consisting of species such as Cassinia laevis, Olearia elliptica, Acacia implexa, Xanthorrhoea glauca or Jacksonia scoparia. The ground layer is usually dominated by grasses of variable composition. Common species include Themeda triandra, Bothriochloa decipiens, Dichanthium sericeum, Cymbopogon refractus, Aristida spp. Fords or sedges such as Gahnia aspera, Asperula conferta or Desmodium varians frequently occur. Occurs on hilltops and sides formed from Cainozoic basaltic rocks.)
- ‘Least concern’ ecosystem 12.8.14 (Eucalyptus eugenioides, E. biturbinata, E. melliodora +/- E. tereticornis, Corymbia intermedia, E. crebra open forest. Allocasuarina torulosa is a common understorey species. Localised occurrences of Eucalyptus laevopinea, E. quadrangulata and E. banksii may occur. Occurs on Cainozoic igneous rocks, especially basalt.)
- ‘Least concern’ ecosystem 12.8.17 (Mixed woodland with combinations of Eucalyptus crebra, E. melanophloia, E. tereticornis, Corymbia tessellaris, C. intermedia, and commonly containing Angophora subvelutina and E. melliodora, with a grassy ground layer. Usually occurs on mid and lower slopes of hills on Cainozoic igneous rocks, especially basalt.)

This bushland follows the contours of the escarpment around the residential area of Blue Mountain Heights, Toowoomba, and can be accessed from all the streets and crescents of Blue Mountain Heights.
It is comprised of an Eucalypt forest with a walking track extending throughout its length. The FEP group is concentrating its regeneration efforts around the Rangeview Road section of the park. Further information is available in the 2023 park report.
Volunteers meet on the first Sunday of the month 8 am – 9 am.
