Bald Rock National Park Vegetation 1999_2006 VIS_ID 4707

Bald Rock National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 1999 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region along with Boonoo Boonoo National Park. The mapping was revised in 2006. Bald Rock National Park is located approximately 20 km north of Tenterfield and occurs in two sections.

The vegetation of Bald Rock National Park 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. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be restricted to the reserve.
