Towra includes 50% of the remaining mangroves in Sydney and most of the saltmarshes remaining in the Sydney region.
TPNR is a major breeding, feeding and roosting site for threatened bird species. 34 migratory bird species have been recorded using the Reserve including the Japanese Snipe.
TPNR also has important cultural values. Three Aboriginal sites have been recorded within the Reserve. Towra Lagoon, which is adjacent to Towra Beach, probably provided freshwater for Aboriginal communities, and was mapped by James Cook in 1770.
