This is a Timber Sale Cruise Tally Card template used by the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region R9 for documenting timber cruising data during forest inventory operations. The form is designed to record detailed information about individual trees sampled during timber sales, including plot identification, tree measurements, species classification, and defect assessments. Key data fields include cruiser identification, paint brand and batch information for timber marking, tree diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, percentage of defect, recovery percentage, and categorization of timber into sawlogs and non-saw products with corresponding 4-inch height and total height measurements. The card accommodates up to 20 tree entries per sheet and requires documentation of the forest, district, sale number, payment unit number, and date of the cruise. This tally card is directly relevant to the Everton Creek Timber Sale Preparation solicitation (12443926Q0187) issued by the Chippewa National Forest, Blackduck Ranger District, which requires qualified Forest Service cruisers to conduct sample tree cruising on approximately 413 acres as part of timber sale preparation activities. The cruising work is a critical component of the project that will support the marking and assessment of approximately 5,500 CCF of red pine, spruce, and balsam fir for commercial thinning operations across multiple payment units.
