1240BE25Q0082 Attachment 8 Plot Instructions and Inspection Sheet.pdf

This document is an Attachment containing Plot Instructions and Inspection Sheet for the USDA Forest Service, specifically a tree planting inspection process. The document includes detailed step-by-step instructions for conducting plot inspections, with 13 key procedural steps covering plot center marking, tree counting, quality assessment, and waste calculation.

Three accompanying tables provide critical reference information: Table 1 shows average planting spacing and spots per acre, Table 2 determines maximum allowable trees from plantable spots, and Table 3 specifies minimum number of satisfactory trees to be planted. The document also includes comprehensive "Tree Codes" for above-ground and below-ground inspections, allowing inspectors to systematically record various planting and tree characteristics using standardized codes. The final pages contain blank USDA Forest Service Planting Inspection Sheets for recording actual field data according to the prescribed methodology.
