About this file
This is a BLM Special Status Plant Survey Form template designed to standardize the collection of flora and fauna survey data across Oregon and Washington BLM administrative units. The form serves as a data collection instrument for ecological surveys, particularly those focused on special status plant species and their habitats.
The form is organized into four primary sections: Survey Information, Visits, Target Species, and Inventory Observations. The Survey section captures administrative details including survey identification, location data (USGS quadrangle, UTM coordinates, legal description), and survey area acreage. The Visits section documents each survey occurrence with required fields for survey type, method, protocol name, observers, contractor information, and temporal data (start/end dates and times). The Target Species section requires surveyors to list species of focus and indicate presence or absence, with positive findings recorded in Flora_Sites or Fauna_Obs tables. The form also collects optional environmental and habitat condition data including slope, aspect, elevation, landform, seral stage, substrate type, vegetation cover percentages, fire presence indicators, soil characteristics, and weather conditions. The Inventory Observations section documents non-target species encountered during surveys with species code, scientific name, percent cover, abundance, and quantity. This template directly supports the Vascular Plant Surveys contract opportunity for the BLM Vale District in Juntura, Oregon, enabling standardized ecological data collection and management within the GeoBOB database system.
