It conserves habitat for two endangered songbirds including the golden-cheeked warbler and the black-capped vireo and to preserve Texas Hill Country habitat for numerous other wildlife species. The refuge is located within a deeply dissected portion of the Edwards Plateau that contains many steep-banked streams and canyons.

Various spiders, beetles, and other creatures inhabit this below-ground world and are unique to this area of Texas.
