Bluff River Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. It is described in the Vegetation and Floristics of the Tenterfield Nature Reserves report which includes Bluff River, Bolivia Hill, Curry’s Gap, Gibraltar & Mt McKenzie. All reserves lie north of Glenn Innes and south of Tenterfield on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales and the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The local government regions for all reserves are the Tenterfield Shire and the County of Clive. Bluff River NR is located approximately 35 km north of Deepwater and incorporates 1793 ha. The vegetation of five reserves within the Tenterfield area is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Fifteen communities are defined based on PATN analysis and an additional community is mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These fifteen communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Seven communities are considered of conservation importance with two of which were considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of woodland structure, although sedgelands, heaths, grasslands, open forests and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the major correlative influence on community distribution, however protection from the north west and east, time since fire, grazing and geographic locality were also strongly correlated.

Mann River Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2004 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Mann River Nature Reserve is located on the escarpment of the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. The Reserve straddles the eastern edge of the New England Tablelands and parts of the North Coast, approximately 30 km south east of Glen Innes. The local government area of the Severn Shire covers the entire reserve. The vegetation of Mann River Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Eight communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) with further sub-assemblages described. These eight communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Several communities are considered to be inadequately reserved across their range but most are relatively well conserved locally. Most communities are Open Forest and Woodlands associations with prominent grassy understoreys. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Community distribution was related primarily to Physiography, time since fire, protection from the north, west and south west, slope, easting and altitude. VIS_ID 4744

Aberbaldie Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2005 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Aberbaldie Nature Reserve incorporates 292 ha and lies approximately 30 km south west of Walcha within the Northern Tablelands Botanical Region and the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The vegetation of Aberbaldie 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. Three communities are considered to be endangered and one considered as vulnerable, the fifth is considered to be poorly reserved. Most communities are of forest structure, though some sections are woodlands or derived woodlands based on past logging practices. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types or topographic positions. VIS_ID 4704

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.

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

Werrikimbe National Park (Mooraback Section) vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2003 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. The Mooraback study area is located within the north east section of Werrikimbe National Park. The study area is bounded in the south by the Werrikimbe Fire Trail. Mooraback study area is within the New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and the local government areas of the Walcha and Hastings Shires. The vegetation of the Mooraback Study Area is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Seven communities are defined, four of which are based on PATN analysis of forests and woodlands and a further three communities are mapped based on information specialised communities. These seven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, rainforest, woodlands, and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types or due to past disturbances. VIS_ID 4762

The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Quanda Nature Reserve, including the recently acquired Millyvale property, is described and mapped at 1: 50 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Map digitised from Porteners (1998) & (2003). VIS_ID 800

Freemantle Nature Reserve vegetation mapping conducted in 1999-2000. This mapping was part of the vegetation survey of Mullion Range State Recreation Area, Wambool Nature Reserve, Freemantle Nature Reserve, Girralang Nature Reserve and Eugowra Nature Reserve undertaken for the Central West District of NSW by Marianne F. Portners in 2000. Report for the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Wambool, Freemantle, Girralang and Eugowra Nature Reserves and Mullion Range State Recreation Area (SRA), in the Central West region of NSW, is described and mapped at 1:25 000 scale (1:50 000 scale for Eugowra) from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Eleven vegetation communities are described and 302 species (308 taxa) of vascular plants recorded from 70 families, several of which are at their geographical limits or regionally restricted. A significantly high proportion of species (19%) are exotic. VIS_ID 1011
