Abstract	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.

Lineage	The mapping for this study was undertaken using aerial photograph interpretation of photography taken in August 1997. This photography is five years old and some areas would be expected to have post photo disturbance. During the field component of the mapping updates were made when post photo disturbance was detected, however some areas of post photo disturbance would not have been detected. The field survey was conducted between November 2001 and August 2002. Disturbances occurring after this period have not been considered in this survey, including the extensive fires that swept through the northern part of the catchment (Kennaicle Creek, Missabotti and northern side of North Arm) in September 2002. All of the full floristic plots and rapid assessment plots were assigned a forest ecosystem class. Assignment into the various forest ecosystems was undertaken using the descriptions and species lists provided in the Forest Ecosystem Classification and Mapping for the Upper and Lower North East CRA regions January 1999. A draft field key of the forest ecosystems provided for evaluation was also used. The 1997 aerial photographs were used to map the vegetation. The full floristic and rapid assessment plots were located onto the air photographs. The plots were used as the basis for mapping the respective ecosystems by delineating polygons of similar texture, tone and colour to the ones containing the plots. These polygons were identified and mapped using acetate photo overlays. Mapping was initiated in the vicinity of the plots, progressively working outwards towards un-surveyed areas. Additional plot locations were determined using air photo interpretation in conjunction with the gap analysis. Mapping was then ground-truthed by roadside traverses to observe a variety of polygons.
