Vegetation community and river red gum canopy condition map of the Murray Valley National and Regional Park 2010 (Millewa Group). VIS_ID 3869

Native vegetation mapping of the Millewa Forest Section of the Murray Valley National Park (NSW).; ; This map was prepared to specifically show the spatial delineation of stem density and canopy condition categories of vegetation in the Barmah and Millewa Forest areas at 2010. This map was prepared using aerial photo interpretation (API) of ADS40 digital aerial photography captured in 2010.; ; The map was prepared by updating (linework and attribution) of existing vegetation mapping produced in 2005. The unpublished Binns map (Doug Binns of Forests NSW) was used a as source for underlying line work and vegetation type classification. The Binns map is a compilation of the best available vegetation mapping prepared for the NSW Natural Resources Commission (NRC NSW Riverina Red Gum Forests Assessment (NRC 2009). http://www.nrc.nsw.gov.au/content/documents/Red%20gum%20-%20FAR%20-%20Complete.pdf For the Millewa Forest area Binns sourced his linework from the Native Vegetation Mapping Program Deniliquin 1:100,000 map sheet (DLWC 2005).; ; In an effort to protect areas of the Riverina red gum forests the NSW Government gazetted Millewa forest as part of the Murray Valley National and Regional Parks under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife (Riverina Forests) Act 2010.
