Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVC’s)

EVC’s are the fine grained detail of the natural vegetation systems that cross the landscape.  EVC’s have been developed based on soils, rainfall and existing vegetation across the landscape to present a picture of what the vegetation was pre European settlement.

The State government website http://www.land.vic.gov.au is the source of this information and anyone can access data for their immediate area.

Examples of map data for EVC’s are:
