<strong>Forest</strong> <strong>of</strong> High Conservation Significance<br />

<strong>Biodiversity</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wielangta</strong> <strong>Forest</strong><br />
A high conservation forest map has been developed which considers a number <strong>of</strong> important values.<br />
These areas may warrant consideration in any land use management planning and future reserve<br />
design.<br />
The following values are captured in this map:<br />
• threatened vegetation. Communities classified as threatened under the Nature<br />
Conservation Act 2002.<br />
• sensitive vegetation (rainforest/mixed forest / oyster bay pine) - these<br />
communities are not able to tolerate standard harvesting and regeneration.<br />
• swift parrot habitat. This includes buffers <strong>of</strong> 100m around known nest sites and foraging<br />
habitat identified in GlobMap.<br />
• eagle nest habitat. 500m buffer around all nests.<br />
• broad toothed stag beetle records. 100m buffer.<br />
• threatened flora records. 100m buffer.<br />
• significant flora (as listed in this report). 100m buffer.<br />
• old growth forest RFA mapping layer 2001.<br />
Clearly, the accuracy <strong>of</strong> the maps is dependent upon the data. There are some areas, particularly<br />
within the reserved lands or private land, that have not been well surveyed and so are data deficient.<br />
They may overlook areas <strong>of</strong> high conservation.<br />
