Boorook State Forest vegetation mapping was undertaken by John Hunter? sometime from 1999 to 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tablelands Region. The small mapped area of State Forest adjoins Boonoo Boonoo National Park on the north eastern corner. No documentation has been found on this small area of mapping. VIS_ID 4717

Barayamal National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Barayamal National Park incorporates approximately 178 ha and lies within the eastern outskirts of Inverell on the North Western Slopes Botanical District and the New England Bioregion. The vegetation of Barayamal National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Lespedeza juncea was the most ubiquitous species within the reserve. Overall the character of the vegetation within the reserve can be described as being dominated by herbs and grasses and in particular Lespedeza juncea, Themeda triandra, Dichanthium sericeum, Swainsona galegifolia, Sorghum leiocladum and Bothriochloa macra. All communities described are of conservation significance. VIS_ID 4708

Kwiambal National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. This was a revision of the 1998 mapping. The Kwiambal National Park (6,517 ha in area) is approximately 130 km north-west of Glen Innes and 30 km from Ashford. Kwiambal is placed within one of the largest areas of remnant woodlands on the north west slopes of NSW. The region is in the Northern Complex Province of the Nandewar Biogeographical Region and within the North Western Slopes Botanical District, both of which are poorly represented in the current reserve network. The vegetation of Kwiambal National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Eleven communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These Eleven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris glaucophylla, Eucalyptus dealbata and Eucalyptus melanophloia in the overstorey with a shrub layer of Melichrus urceolatus, Leptospermum brevipes, and Acacia leiocalyx and a herbaceous layer of Aristida ramosa, Cheilanthes sieberi, Cheilanthes distans, Commelina cyanea, Tripogon loliiformis and Cyperus gracilis.

Avondale State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2014 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Avondale State Conservation Area is located approximately 36 km north east of Armidale and is accessed via the Rockvale Road. The reserve occurs on eastern side of the central New England Tablelands. The vegetation of Avondale State Conservation Area is described and mapped (scale1:10 000) based on ADS40 Imagery (2012). Six floristic communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) and seven Plant Community Types (VIS) are mapped. These six floristic communities and seven PCTs were mapped based on ground truthing, ADS40 interpretation and landform. Two Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) were recognised and mapped also.

Dthinnia Dthinnawan Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. In 2008 the mapping was updated to include what is now Dthinnia Dthinnawan CCA Zone 1 National Park. The vegetation of Dthinnia Dthinnawan is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Ten communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These ten communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation, landform and substrate. VIS_ID 261 (and VIS_ID 4727)

This report describes the native vegetation communities that occur within the Bogan Gate, Boona Mount, Condobolin, Dandaloo, Tottenham and Tullamore 1: 100 000 map sheets. Native vegetation includes both woody (i.e. open forests, woodlands and open woodlands) and non-woody communities (i.e. grasslands and forblands). The study area is located in the central western region of New South Wales. It encompasses parts of six Local Government Areas: Bogan, Forbes, Lachlan, Narromine, Parkes and Warren; and includes the major settlements of Condobolin, Forbes (western part), Tottenham, Trangie, Trundle and Tullamore. It incorporates parts of three Native Vegetation Regions: North Lachlan - Bogan; Mid-Lachlan; and Lower Macquarie - Castlereagh. 850 plots sampled in total: 516 woody plots, each 0.1 ha in size; 334 non-woody plots each 0.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Beresford Park and Carinya additions to Mt Kaputar NP in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Nine communities were determined based on floristic analysis of 20 x 20 m survey sites, and described using dominant species and structural characteristics. Vegetation communities were mapped using ground truthing, position in landscape and stereo interpretation of aerial photos captured at 1:50,000. Lineage and attribution accuracy are unknown.

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.
