About this file
This document contains tree planting inspection forms and instructions for the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest Fall Tree Planting solicitation. The forms provide a template for inspectors to record data from sample plots, including the desired and actual number of plantable spots, maximum allowable and number of planted trees, and criteria for evaluating trees above and below ground. Inspectors must determine planting quality percentages by comparing the number of satisfactorily planted trees to actual plantable spots and dug trees. The instructions provide guidance on locating and examining sample plots and recording results.
