The tree covered slopes form an integral part of the character of the Western Shores. The endangered Pittwater Spotted Gum Forest is the dominant ecological community. Under the canopy is a layer of tall shrubs and small trees of medium to high density and vines with smaller shrubs and grasses at the forest floor level.
