Endangered ecological communities identification guides

Endangered ecological communities (EEC) identification guidelines have been developed to assist landowners and contractors identify EECs in the field. The guidelines provide information on characteristic tree species, locations and other key features and are intended to supplement the detailed Scientific Committee Final Determination on EECs.

Guidelines relevant to private native forestry can be downloaded from the links below. In addition, the EPA’s threatened ecological communities mapping project produced detailed technical reports of 18 TECs in coastal forests, which can be used to assist identification in the field.
