Recommendations:

Take a point every 1-2 chains or at every other or every two trees, depending on size of tract. Adjust the distance between plots to cover the entire tract. Make note of any major issues on site (i.e. tubes mowed down, extensive herbivores, bird netting issues, etc.). Attempt to associate comments with numerical values for quantification (i.e., 60% of the stocking had growing complications due to the bird nets). Use supplemental pages as needed.

Damage: If seedling is damaged, indicate as best you can what the cause was.

Invasive Species: Indicate presence of competition.

Species: Identify planted species by common name, place an “M” if the plant is missing, “U” if it is unidentifiable, or “D” if dead.

Height: Measure and record the height of the stem (feet and tenths).

Understory: Indicate if the tree is within 20 feet of an overstory canopy.

Top 2 Natural Species: Record the top 2 naturally occurring tree species that are in the 1/100th acre plot (11.9 ft. radius)

Total Natural Trees Count: Count the number of natural trees occurring in a mil-acre plot (3.7 ft. radius).
