Endangered ecological communities field identification guidelines

A series of field identification guidelines have been prepared for a number of endangered ecological community forests, which may occur in areas subject to private native forestry operations. These guidelines will assist landowners and contractors identify endangered ecological communities (EECs) in the field. They provide information on characteristic tree species, geographical locations and other key features and are intended to supplement the detailed Scientific Committee Final Determination on EECs.

The guidelines relevant to private native forestry can be downloaded from the links below. These are in pdf format and require Acrobat Reader.
