Timbarra National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2011 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Timbarra National Park is located 28km east of Tenterfield, adjacent to Demon Nature Reserve. The vegetation of the Timbarra National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Eight communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These eight communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Aims included the collation of existing information from previous floristic surveys and that the survey of 40, 20 x 20 m stratified full vascular plant floristic sites is carried out in order to complete a comprehensive investigation of the vegetation and flora of Timbarra National Park. This report represents the findings of this study. The collated information is to be used as a guide for management purposes. VIS_ID 4756

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 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.

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.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Gunyerwarildi National Park in 2009, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Four 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.

Single National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr Peter Clark, Dr Lachlan Copeland and Natasha Noble in 2000 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Single National Park is located on the western edge of Guyra Plateau, 18km east of Tingha and 60km north of Armidale. Maps of veg structure were initially prepared at 1:25,000 scale based on photo pattern interpretation colour aerial photographs. VIS_ID 4755

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

Vegetation community mapping for Eusdale Nature Reserve by John Hunter, 2017. A Northern Inland NPWS Branch contract. Mapped at 1:25000 scale. Six Plant Community Types are defined based on similarity classification (SIMPER) of 62 full floristic and rapid assessment sites. These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, satellite image analysis and landform.

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)

Cataract National Park and State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Cataract NP and SCA are located approximately 20km north of Drake near Tenterfield and comprise around 4,000 ha of lands. The north eastern boundary of the study area is bordered by the Clarence River. The lands are mainly mountainous with many incised creeks and escarpment areas. The lands lie in the North Coast Botanical District. The vegetation of Cataract National Park and State Conservation Area is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Seven communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These seven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is dominated by grassy forests and woodlands usually with Allocasuarina torulosa (Forest Oak), Eucalytpus biturbinata (Grey Gum) and Eucalytpus crebra (Ironbark) with an understorey of Cymbopogon refractus (Barbed-wire Grass), Imperata cylindrical (Blady Grass) and Poa sieberiana (Tussock Grass). Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly by clearing, logging and grazing. No listed threatened communities or flora species were noted. A total of 437 vascular plant taxa were found from 108 families and 285 genera. VIS_ID 4722
