Information from surveying the presence and abundance of rare plants within the nature reserve will guide management, planning, development and conservation decisions. For instance the finding of protected plant species at the Majura paddocks had been considered important for the decision to return the paddocks to nature reserve.
Pictures of some of the listed rare plant species are available at Canberra Nature Map and the Rare Plant Gallery.
