Innes is the largest area of native vegetation remaining on the Yorke Peninsula, providing habitat for 115 species of conservation significance. The park forms part of the Southern Yorke Peninsula Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports populations of Malleefowl as well as of other threatened bird species, including the Western Whipbird.
