Nullamanna National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Nullamanna NP is a small reserve of under 300 ha that occurs within the North Western Botanical District and the Nandewar Bioregion. The reserve lies closest to Kings Plains National Park. The vegetation of Nullamanna National Park 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. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris endlicheri, Eucalyptus dealbata, Eucalyptus crebra, Eucalyptus caleyi and Eucalyptus moluccana with a shrub layer of Leucopogon muticus, Notelaea microcarpa, Melichrus urceolatus and Leptospermum brevipes with a ground layer of Cymbopogon refractus, Cheilanthes sieberi, Austrodanthonia caespitosa, Aristida ramosa and Panicum effusum.

Eight communities are defined. The vegetation of the Noonga section of the Gwydir River National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Three communities are defined. The vegetation of the Munro South section of the Gwydir River National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined. The vegetation of the Sepoy section of the Gwydir River SCA is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Five communities are defined. The vegetation of the Salmon and Murchison sections of the Gwydir River SCA is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000) based on SPOT imagery. Seven communities are defined. All communities were defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) and mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. VIS_ID 4806

Kuluwañ Flora Reserve vegetation mapping was conducted by Eastcoast Flora Survey environmental consultants (Steve Bell and Ryan Sims) for Hunter Central Coast Branch in 2024-25. The mapping uses NSW Plant Community Types (PCTs) and includes Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs). Kuluwañ Flora Reserve is located on the Central Coast hinterland approximately 30 km north-west of Gosford, NSW. In January 2021, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) was appointed as land manager of several Forestry Corporation NSW, Flora Reserves. One of these is the Kuluwañ Flora Reserve (FR), which occurs in the Central Coast Area (CCA) of the NPWS Hunter Central Coast Branch. To facilitate effective management of this reserve, NPWS required detailed information on floristics and vegetation communities. This information will be used to identify those species and communities of high conservation significance to inform future plans of management and associated works, fire management strategies, weed control strategies and rehabilitation plans. Full-floristic survey site information is required to support native vegetation mapping. Comprehensive field survey was undertaken across the 1610 ha. Ten vegetation communities were delineated, described and mapped. Multivariate clustering and nMDS ordination techniques on 36 sample plots and 373 plant taxa were undertaken in support of field observations, and there was good congruence between these two techniques suggesting a robust classification was achieved. In total, 373 taxa were recorded from Kuluwañ FR, and only four of these were weeds. The threatened shrub Rhodamnia rubescens (critically endangered) was relatively common across most sheltered slopes, and all populations displayed signs of Myrtle Rust infection despite good flowering. The vulnerable Melaleuca biconvexa, included in databases as present on the eastern edge of the reserve, could not be substantiated during current surveys. Additionally, the rare ironbark, bottlebrush and wattle were all recorded within Kuluwañ. Diversity in eucalypts (Angophora, Corymbia, Eucalyptus) within Kuluwañ FR is high for such a small area, with twenty-one (21) species recorded over the 1610 ha. This equates to one newly encountered species every 77 ha and is consistent with trends evident in other parts of the Central Coast and Hunter Valley. As might be expected, the vegetation present within Kuluwañ FR shows strong affinities to that in the nearby Jilliby/Watagan and Yengo/Parr reserve systems. This is reflected in the relative ease with which vegetation communities could be affiliated with those described for those reserves. The characteristic species present across ridges and slopes, as well as those on gullies and alluvial flats, are mostly consistent with those in these reserves. Nearly all of the eucalypts recorded within Kuluwañ FR are considered Koala use species for the Central Coast, in addition to three non-eucalypt species. Kuluwañ FR consequently provides substantial habitat for Koala, based on the diversity and abundance of over 20 known use tree species. Detailed information is included in the report: Bell, S.A.J. & Sims, R. (2025) Vegetation and floristics of Kuluwañ Flora Reserve, Central Coast LGA.

The composition and the extent of the present native vegetation in Goobang National Park (42080 ha) is described and mapped at 1:50 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photographic interpretation. Goobang National Park is situated in central-western New South Wales north-east of Parks, and encompasses the Herveys and Curumbenya Ranges and part of the Bumberry Ridge. VIS_ID 1051

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

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

Initially part of Sunny Corner SF , Eusdale NR was mapped by NSW State Forests prior to ownership by NPWS. Additional gaps in the vegetation mapping have been filled by local NPWS staff using State Forest RN17 typing and local knowledge to create a new version in 2009. An addition to Eusdale " Stony Creek" was subsequently mapped by Raymond Mjadwesch in 2011. In mapping the addition Mjadwesch updated the typing to correlate the vegetation mapping across the entire reserve with Keith (2004) Classes. The Keith Classes were revised by NPWS staff in 2013 and additional attributes about the composition of the understorey included as field "SHRB_GRASS" to assist with fire planning. For further information on individual mapping see dataset history. VIS_ID 3982

Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2015 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve is located 30 km west of Armidale and was established in 1983. It covers an area of 589ha and protects a significant Aboriginal Site. The vegetation of Mt Yarrowyck Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:10 000) based on ADS40 Imagery (2012). Nine floristic communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). Nine five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. In addition eight Plant Community Types (VIS PCT) from within four Keith Classes are also mapped along with one Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs). The current mapping of the TEC is likely to be overestimated at this stage and would require specific on ground targeted work to more accurately delineate its potential boundaries. VIS_ID 4748
