NSW State Vegetation Type Map (Pre-Clearing)

Brief description

This Pre-Clearing map represents the pre-clearing extent of the State Vegetation Type Map (SVTM). Both SVTM and SVTM (Pre-Clearing) map each Plant Community Type, Vegetation Class and Vegetation Formation at a regional scale across all tenures in NSW. Pre-clearing PCT mapping is available for both eastern NSW and Far Western NSW. Coverage of Central NSW is a work in progress. \r\n\r\nPre-clearing extent of PCTs was developed using a combination of aerial photographic interpretation, environmental layers and historical documents. This map is updated periodically as part of the Integrated BioNet Vegetation Data program to improve quality and alignment to the NSW vegetation classification hierarchy. \r\n\r\nFurther information and technical documents about the SVTM is available from the State Vegetation Type Mapping Program Page \r\n\r\n__Current Release C2.0.M2.1 (November2024)__\r\n\r\nThis release includes revisions, using the most recent NSW PCT Classification Masterlist (represented by “C2.0” in the version release number). PCT spatial distributions were manually edited based on user and community feedback since the previous C2.0.M2.0 release. \r\n\r\nDetailed technical information is available here .\r\n\r\n__Data Access__\r\n\r\nMap data may be downloaded, viewed within the SEED Map Viewer, or accessed via the underlying ArcGIS REST Services or WMS for integration in GIS or business applications. \r\n\r\nThe Trees Near Me NSW app provides quick access to view the map using a mobile device or desktop. Download the app from Google Play or the App Store, or access the web site at https://treesnearme.app .\r\n\r\n__Map Data Type__\r\n\r\nThe map is supplied as ESRI Feature Class (Quickview) and 5m GeoTiff Raster, and can be viewed and analysed in most commercial and open-source spatial software packages. If you prefer to use the download package, we supply an ArcGIS v10.6 mxd and/or a layer file for suggested symbology. The raster attributes contain PCT, Vegetation Class and Vegetation Formation.\r\n\r\n__Feedback and Support__\r\n\r\nWe welcome your feedback to assist us in continuously improving our products. To help us track and process your feedback, please use the SEED Data Feedback tool available via the SEED map viewer or the Feedback function in Trees Near Me NSW. \r\n\r\nFor further support, contact the BioNet Team at _ bionet@environment.nsw.gov.au _.\r\n\r\n__Useful Related Data__\r\n\r\n NSW State Vegetation Type Map : regional scale map of extant NSW Plant Community Types, Vegetation classes and Vegetation Formations.\r\n\r\n NSW BioNet Flora Survey Plots – PCT Reference Sites : full floristic plots used in the development of the quantitative Plant Community Type (PCT) classification.
