Located just a short drive from Coffs Harbour near Woolgoolga, the reserve features striking landscapes, from rugged sandstone escarpments and coastal ridges to dry open forests, heathlands, and vibrant subtropical rainforests. The reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife, with old-growth forests and diverse habitats providing refuge for over 50 native animals, including the brush-tailed rock wallaby, long-nosed potoroo, powerful owl, giant barred frog, and leaf-tailed gecko. The incredible birdlife also makes Sherwood a bird watching paradise.
