It contains the largest remaining section of pure tuart forest in the world.

This narrow strip of tuart trees is situated near Ludlow between Capel and Busselton.

The trees, species Eucalyptus gomphocephala, only grow on the coastal limestone that underlies the area and the park is home to the tallest and largest specimens of the trees remaining on the Swan Coastal Plain.

[2] Tuart Drive, which is about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) in length and was part of Bussell Highway before the opening of the Ludlow diversion in 1995, goes through the national park.

[3][4] In addition to the pure tuart forest, the park is also home to the largest remaining wild population of the Western Ringtail Possum.
