Coastal Sandstone Foreshores Forest is found on sheltered sandstone slopes along the foreshores of Sydney’s major waterways and coastal escarpments. It is an open forest with a moist shrub layer and a ground cover of ferns, rushes and grasses.
The flora of this community has a maritime influence given its exposure to prevailing sea breezes. A prominent layer of hardy mesic small trees and shrubs is present.
This forest is restricted to sandstone soils derived from either Hawkesbury or Narrabeen geology. Coastal Sandstone Foreshores Forest occurs in areas with an average rainfall of more than 1100mm per year.
