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.

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

Maryland National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Maryland NP lies within NSW approximately 20km north east of Stanthorpe, Qld and comprises some 2,284 ha of lands. Parts of these reserved lands were once under the control and management of State Forests, while other more recent additions were free hold land used for grazing enterprises. The reserve lies along the NSW-Qld border and is half within the Northern Tablelands and half in the North Coast Botanical Divisions. The lands are incorporated entirely within the New England Tablelands Bioregion within the local government areas of the Parish of Marsh, County of Buller and Shire of Tenterfield. The vegetation of Maryland National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Almost all of the reserve is dominated by the Eucalyptus biturbinata, Eucalyptus campanulata and Lophostemon confertus. Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly by Logging, clearing and grazing. The original mapping was recorded as VIS ID_457 and this version has the addition of PCT and fire veg classification fields. VIS_ID 4745

Boonoo Boonoo National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 1999 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region along with Bald Rock National Park. The mapping was revised in 2006. Boonoo Boonoo National Park is located approximately 30 km north east of Tenterfield. The vegetation of Boonoo Boonoo National Parks is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). This forms part one of the survey of lands within these two reserves with part two of the survey incorporating newly acquired lands. Ten communities are defined based on PATN analysis and one specialised community is as circumscribed by previous surveys. These eleven communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and altitude. Most communities are of a Tall Open Forest structure, however Woodlands exist along with Heaths, Sedgelands, Shrublands and Closed Forest. The distribution of communities is related to drainage, aspect, slope and soil depth. VIS_ID 4716

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

Yina Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2003 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Yina NR is located within the New England Tablelands Bioregion and the Northern Tablelands Botanical District and is approximately 10 km east of Armidale. The reserve incorporates 101 ha within the Armidale Dumaresq Shire. The reserve was formally known as Hillgrove State Forest. The vegetation of Yina Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are Endangered and one considered as vulnerable, the fourth is considered to be poorly reserved. Most communities are of woodland and open forest structure. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. VIS_ID 4763

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

Ngulin Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2005 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Ngulin NR incorporates 1255 ha and lies approximately 40 km south east of Walcha towards Nowendoc, within the Northern Tablelands Botanical Region and the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The reserve was gazetted in 1999. The vegetation of Ngulin Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered to be endangered and one considered as under threat within the reserve, all others are considered adequately 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. In general all six communities probably are representatives of three broader north eastern assemblages, the Eucalyptus obliqua-E. nobilis association, E. pauciflora association and the Schizomeria-Doryphora- Caldcluvia-Orites sub-alliance.
