Nambucca LGA Vegetation 2003. VIS_ID 500

Nambucca Shire Council Vegetation Mapping by Kendall and Kendall Ecological Services, 2003. Kendall and Kendall Ecological Services was engaged by the Mid North Coast Catchment Management Board to undertake a flora study of the Nambucca Catchment. The project was administered and supervised by the Nambucca Catchment Vegetation Sub-committee in conjunction with the Nambucca Shire Council.

The floristic mapping has been based on the Forest Ecosystem classification used in the Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) undertaken in 1999. The forest ecosystem classification was chosen as the mapping system because it provides a regional system that has been applied to North-east NSW. The forest ecosystem classification was also sufficiently broad to allow mapping of the study area within the budget constraints of the project. The modelled forest ecosystem mapping produced as a result of the CRA provides an overview of the regional vegetation, however it is considered to be inadequate when it is applied on a fine scale. The Nambucca catchment mapping was conducted to provide a more accurate map of the natural vegetation whilst retaining the ability to be applied on a regional scale. The plot data collected in this project will enhance the regional database and will be of assistance for any future refinement of the regional vegetation classification system. VIS_ID 500

Purpose The aim of the project was to provide comprehensive data on the natural vegetation within the study area. The study surveyed and mapped the naturally vegetated communities within the Nambucca Catchment. The study was undertaken so as to provide information on:• the distribution and condition of the vegetation communities;• the distribution of endangered flora species, populations and ecological communities and vulnerable flora species (as defined by the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995)and the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999));• poorly conserved vegetation communities;• vegetation communities threatened by clearing or development; • potential habitat for threatened plant species; and,• distribution of introduced plant species likely to cause environmental degradation.
