Management ( including stewardship and restoration) for the Element at this location (e.g., burn periodically, open the canopy, control invasives, remove drainage ditches, clear blocked culvert, break drain tile, reduce deer densities, study effects of herbivore impacts)

MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION

MAP (mandatory)

1. Attach appropriate part of a USGS topographic map or map showing exact locations of species. Image can be uploaded into the Map Insert field located at the end of this form or clearly associated with this form once completed.

2. Indicate on the map the exact location of the observation(s):

a. When the observation area is no larger then a pen point on the map (i.e., only a small number of individuals or extremely small patches), place small points on the map indicating the location(s) of the individuals or patches, and label each point with an arrow so they are more easily seen.

b. When the observed area is larger then a pen point on the map. (e.g., a population of plants, foraging birds):

(1) Draw a thin solid boundary line showing the extent of the observed area occupied by the individuals.

(2) Indicate disjunct patches (polygons) by drawing the boundary for each patch separately.

(3) If the boundary follows the edge of a lake, stream, road, marsh or other feature, draw the boundary precisely on the edge of the feature.

(4) When needed, add notes to the map with instruction on where the boundary line is located or if the boundary is shared with other observations.

3. A hand drawn sketch may be included for finer details.

b. Is the observed area known to be located within some feature(s) on the map (e.g., wetland boundary, lake, road, trail, highway, contour lines)?

If Yes, indicate the boundary within which the observed area is known to be located on the map line, and if applicable, identify the feature (e.g., marsh).

of its actual location on the ground.

a. Estimate of uncertainty distance: based on landmarks, elevation, etc., the location of the observed area on the map is accurate to within

LOCATIONAL CERTAINTY

Is your depiction of the observed area on the map within 6.25 m (approx. 20ft) of its actual location on the ground?

If No, complete the following:
