This is a field survey data collection form used by Muskegon State Park, a Michigan state park facility, to document and track invasive phragmites (Phragmites australis) populations and treatment efforts. The form records observational data from specific GPS-marked sites within the park, capturing species identification, population estimates, density measurements, and treatment status updates. The survey includes multiple monitoring points (MUGE0001, MUGE0002, and additional sites), with each entry documenting population density categories (ranging from 0-5 scale and classifications of Dense, Patchy, or Sparse), treatment application status (marked as Updated or not), and polygon mapping updates for spatial tracking of infestation areas.

The form serves as a management and monitoring tool rather than a procurement document, designed to track the effectiveness of phragmites control efforts and maintain current population data across multiple treatment sites within the park. Entries include site-specific comments and notes on remapping activities, indicating ongoing management and adaptive treatment strategies. The data collection format supports long-term invasive species monitoring and helps inform resource allocation decisions for continued treatment and eradication efforts at Muskegon State Park.
