About this file
This is a planting inspection sheet template used by the USDA Forest Service to evaluate tree planting quality and compliance with contract specifications. The form (R2-FS-2470-9, revised 6/2001) is designed for inspecting both contract and force account planting work across forest districts.
The inspection sheet systematically documents planting quality through above-ground and below-ground assessments. Inspectors record data for individual plots using standardized evaluation criteria, including plantable spot selection, spacing violations, planting depth, stem position, firmness, scalping/clearing, species verification, and tree culls for above-ground inspection. Below-ground inspection evaluates root firmness, root configuration, root length alteration, foreign material in planting holes, and planting hole orientation. The form calculates final planting quality percentage using a formula that multiplies the number of satisfactory above-ground trees by satisfactory below-ground trees, divided by actual plantable spots and minimum required dig samples, expressed as a percentage. Specific instructions guide inspectors through plot location, tree examination procedures, determination of plantable spots accounting for natural regeneration and unplantable areas, identification of wasted trees, and systematic sampling requirements based on reference tables. This template is applicable to tree planting projects within the Grand Valley Ranger District in Colorado under the USDA Forest Service's Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA Call for tree planting services.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate and mark the plot center on the ground.
2. Locate and examine planted trees for above ground criteria. Record results in column 2 of inspection form.
Above Ground
| ( |
| Satisfactory Planting spot selection |
| S |
| Spacing violation |
| P |
| Planting spot selection |
| X |
| Shade violation or protection (microsite) violation |
| D |
| Planting depth |
| A |
| Stem position – improper angle |
| F |
| Firmness, tree improperly tamped, loose |
| C |
| Scalping or clearing or planting spot preparation violation |
| W |
| Wrong species T Cull Tree |
3. Determine from table 1 the average number of desired plantable spots for the plot based on the specified average spacing. Record results in column 3.
4. Determine and record in column 4 the number of spots void of planted trees that are unplantable due to acceptable existing natural regeneration or on-the-ground conditions. (Refer to definitions in supplement to the General Provisions.)
5. Subtract column 4 from the average number of planting spots and record the difference as the actual number of plantable spots on which trees should be planted on the plot in column 5.
6. Determine the maximum number of allowable trees from table 2 and record in column 6.
7. Record the number of trees planted on the plot from column 2 in column 7.
8. Determine wasted trees by subtracting the maximum number of allowable trees in column 6 from those planted (column 7) and if more than zero, record in column 8.
9. Record the number of planted trees meeting the above-ground contract specifications from column 2 in column 9. The maximum number of satisfactory trees to be credited shall not exceed the maximum number recorded in column 6.
10. Determine and dig at least the minimum number of trees from those determined satisfactory above ground in accordance with table 3 and record in column 10. The trees will be dug starting with those closest to the plot center and progressing outwards.
11. Tabulate below ground results in column 2 and record the number of trees meeting below-ground contact specifications in column 11.
Below Ground
| ( |
| Satisfactory |
| F |
| Firmness – air pockets, tree improperly tamped, loose |
| R |
| Roots configuration violation |
| L |
| Altered root length violation |
| M |
| Foreign material in planting hole |
| O |
| Planting hole orientation violation |
12. Planting Quality Percent = Column 9 x Column 11 x 100 Column 5 Column 10
