Vegetation mapping for Winburndale Nature Reserve Mt Horrible Addition VIS ID 3986

Brief description

Survey and mapping was commissioned by NPWS Western Branch Macquarie Area, Bathurst office. Six floristic quadrats were sampled to further describe the vegetation communities. Walked transects and topographic maps were used to delineate vegetation boundaries. The author correlated map units to vegetation communities described in the original Winburndale NR vegetation report (ERM Mitchell McCotter 1996) and allocated them to NSW Vegetation Classes and Formations (Keith 2004) for fire management purposes. Hardcopy maps were digitsed in the Dubbo NPWS Western Branch office. Subsequent to the final report, NPWS staff have corrected correlation errors and re-assigned some map units to the NSW classification (Keith 2004). Mt Horrible (addition to Winburndale NR) mapping supplements existing mapping for Winburndale NR [Vegetation descriptions in: ERM Mitchell McCotter Pty. Ltd. (1996) Bathurst vegetation survey for NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service: Bathurst District covering Winburndale NR, Nangar NP, Conimbla NP and Weddin Mountains NP. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Bathurst. Mapping undertaken by Roger Lembit under contract to NPWS Bathurst District office in 1997 due to inadequacies in ERM mapping.]
