Attachment B_Utilization of Material to Provide Shade.pdf

Attachment B is a technical diagram related to the SWLO Tree Planting contract opportunity for the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation's Southwest Land Office. The document provides two illustrated examples of shade utilization and tree planting techniques, focusing on strategic placement of new trees in relation to existing landscape features and shade sources. The first diagram demonstrates how to utilize existing shade by showing recommended and non-recommended planting locations around a tree stump, with directional compass points (N, S, E, W, NE, SW) indicating proper positioning. The second diagram illustrates moving a transportable shade structure to a tree planting site, again using compass directions to guide placement and movement.

The technical guidance in this attachment appears designed to support environmentally conscious and strategically effective tree planting practices, likely as part of the broader SWLO Tree Planting contract in Montana's Missoula, Revalli, and Granite Counties. While the document does not contain specific pricing, contract terms, or quantitative planting requirements, it provides visual instructions for maximizing shade resources and optimizing tree placement, which suggests a detailed approach to landscape management and environmental stewardship in the contract's implementation.
