Vegetation map of Weddin Mountains National Park. Vegetation descriptions from Boden, R. & Mitchell, L. (1996). Bathurst Vegetation Survey. Unpublished report by ERM Mitchell McCotter for the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Bathurst District. The NSW NPWS commissioned vegetation surveys of Winburndale NR and Nangar, Conimbla and Weddin Mountains NPs, as the first stage in preparing fire management plans. Key project tasks were literature review to compile an annotated bibliography, and vegetation surveys to describe communities, their floristic composition and conservation status. Mapping produced by Boden & Mitchell was deemed insufficient for reserve management needs. Subsequently, more detailed mapping (this dataset) was undertaken by Roger Lembit under contract to NPWS Bathurst District office in 1997. VIS_ID 1013

Survey and mapping was commissioned by NPWS Western Branch Macquarie Area, Bathurst office. Six floristic quadrats were sampled to further describe the vegetation communities. Walked transects and topographic maps were used to delineate vegetation boundaries. The author correlated map units to vegetation communities described in the original Winburndale NR vegetation report (ERM Mitchell McCotter 1996) and allocated them to NSW Vegetation Classes and Formations (Keith 2004) for fire management purposes. Hardcopy maps were digitsed in the Dubbo NPWS Western Branch office. Subsequent to the final report, NPWS staff have corrected correlation errors and re-assigned some map units to the NSW classification (Keith 2004). Mt Horrible (addition to Winburndale NR) mapping supplements existing mapping for Winburndale NR [Vegetation descriptions in: ERM Mitchell McCotter Pty. Ltd.

The vegetation of Brigalow Park and Claremont Nature Reserves is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. These reserves are part of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) estate. VIS_ID 4024

Melville Range Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter and Paul Sheringham in 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Melville Range Nature Reserve comprises some 843 ha of land and lies between Tamworth and Gunnedah. These lands were previously freehold and all boundaries are with freehold lands. Us such much of the past landuse management has been for grazing and some timber removal. The reserve falls within the Nandewar Bioregion and the North Western Slopes Botanical Division. The vegetation of Melville Range Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Almost all of the reserve is dominated by the trees Eucalyptus crebra, Euc. albens and Euc. dealbata with a sparse shrub layer of Notelaea microcarpa, Psydrax odoratum and Bursaria longisepala and an understorey dominated by Aristida ramosa, Scutellaria humilis, Arthropodium sp. B, Joycea pallida, Geranium solanderi, Dichondra sp. A and Cymbopogon refractus. Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly clearing and grazing. Parts of Community 3: Dry Rainforest, are likely to conform to the Endangered Ecological Community of Semi-Evergreen Vine Thickets. Communities 4 and 5 should be considered as highly restricted and therefore of concern. VIS_ID 4746

Vegetation community mapping for Dowe Community Conservation Area (CCA) Zone 1 National Park by John Hunter, 2009. A Northern Tablelands NPWS Region contract. Mapped at 1:50,000 scale. Dowe NP is north east of Gunnedah immediately adjacent to the east of Lake Keepit. Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. The communities described and their status are: Floristic Community Area Reservation Status C1: White Cypress Pine – Silver-leaved Ironbark – White Box Woodland C2: White Box – White Cypress Pine Grassy Woodland C4: Yarran Shrubland A total of 170 vascular plant taxa were found from 51 families and 125 genera (22% exotic). No taxa of conservation significance were found during this or previous surveys. Reference: Hunter,J.T. (2009). Vegetation and Floristics of the Dowe National Park. A report to the NSW NPWS.

"Vegetation map digitised from Porteners, M.F. (1998). Vegetation Survey of Mt Kaputar National Park (Southern Portion). Report for the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. NSW NPWS, Sydney.; ; The composition and extent of the present vegetation in the southern portion of Mt Kaputar National Park is described and mapped at 1:25 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Six vegetation communities are described and 246 species (251 taxa) of vascular plants recorded from 72 families, several of which are at their north-western geographical limit or regionally restricted. A very small proportion of species (5%) is exotic. Two nationally listed rare or threatened species are recorded from the study area, both of which occur infrequently in restricted habitats."; ; VIS_ID 932
