Rushbrook Provincial Park contains the provincially significant South Rushbrook Old Pine Natural Heritage Area (799 ha), straddling the Shakwa Road. This area contains the best representation of mature and old-growth red pine-white pine on an end moraine landform in this area. Several old white and red pine trees cored in August 2002 were 125-130 years old, while one tree was over 300 years old. There is also a 37 hectare stand of mature and old-growth yellow birch on the end moraine. Other tree species include white birch, black spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, white cedar, trembling aspen, Jack pine, red maple, and sugar maple.
