C05_FY26_BMRD_Stocking Survey Data Form.xlsx

This is a Stocking Survey Data Form template used by the USDA Forest Service to collect and evaluate reforestation monitoring data on the Malheur National Forest. The form captures contractor-collected field data on planted and naturally regenerated trees across multiple survey plots, measuring metrics such as species composition, tree viability, tree height, and ground cover conditions (rock, grass, vegetation/shrub percentages). Data collection includes tracking of individual tree counts by species code (Ponderosa Pine, Douglas-fir, Western Larch, Grand Fir, Western White Pine, Lodgepole Pine, and others), classification of trees as viable or non-viable, and calculation of Trees Per Acre (TPA) for both planted and natural regeneration components.

The form establishes a quality assurance and scoring methodology wherein Forest Service Inspector-collected data serves as the foundation baseline, with contractor performance evaluated against this standard on a per-plot basis and then averaged across units. Scoring is calculated as a percentage, with a maximum score of 100 percent possible; any contractor data points falling outside accepted variance thresholds relative to Forest Service measurements result in proportional point reductions. The template includes sections for unit-level narrative descriptions of non-stocked areas, soil conditions, weather damage, stocking level explanations, animal damage impacts, and photographic documentation requirements. The form supports the broader BPA Call Order (1240BG26Q0088) issued against the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA for natural regeneration and reforestation stocking survey services.
