The Warialda CCA Zone 1 National Park and CCA Zone 3 State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2012 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. The Warialda NP and State Conservation Area are located south of the township of Warialda. This vegetation map is in addition to the Stonehedge section which was mapped in 2009. The vegetation of Warialda North (SCA) and South (NP) is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000) based on SPOT imagery. Nine communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association).

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.

Warra National Park Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2001 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Warra NP is located approximately 35 km south of Glen Innes and 5 km west of Mount Mitchell. Warra National Park lies withinthe New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and the local government areas of the Guyra Shire and the County of Gresham and the Severn Shire north of the Sara River. At present the Park encompasses 2041 ha. The vegetation of Warra National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Nine communities are defined based on PATN analysis and a further two communities are mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These eleven 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, woodlands, mallee scrubs 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 south west, time since fire, altitude were also strongly correlated. VIS_ID 4761

Vegetation association mapping undertaken as part of a resource and fire behaviour assessment for Pilliga Nature Reserve and Warrumbungle National Park in 1990. Existing datasets were collated and field survey undertaken to inform air photo interpretation of vegetation patterns. 36 field survey sites were sampled in the Pilliga. Number of sites sampled in the Warrumbungles is not recorded. Specifications of aerial photography is not provided, however 1:50,000 air photos were flown over the Pilliga and part of Warrumbungles in 1989, and 1:50,000 photos captured in 1982 exist for the remainder of Warrumbungle NP. The purpose of the project was to provide an overall picture of the vegetation types and to sample fuel loadings stratified by vegetation type/physiology/aspect for incorporation into the NPWS FIREMAPS (Fire Mapping and Prediction System) and ERMS databases.

Goonoowigal State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Goonoowigall SCA lies approximately 10 km south east of Inverell within the Nandewar Bioregion and the North Western Slopes Botanical District. The reserve contains approximately 1037 ha of lands. The vegetation of Goonoowigall State Conservation Area is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Eight communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These eight communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris endlicheri, Angophora floribunda, Eucalyptus prava and Eucalyptus bridgesiana with shrub layer of Leucopogon muticus, Leptospermum brevipes, Brachyloma daphnoides and Acacia neriifolia and a herb layer of Cheilanthes sieberi, Cymbopogon refractus, Aristida ramosa, Microlaena stipoides and Pomax umbellata.

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.

Vegetation community mapping for the Cooinda portion of Warrabah National Park, 2015. A Northern Tablelands NPWS Region contract. Mapped at 1:25000 scale.

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
