Exhibit 5 Plot Survey Form.xlsx

This file is a blank template and completed example for a Plot Survey Form used in stocking surveys for the Lolo National Forest. The form is designed to collect data on tree species, size classes, and stocking conditions across multiple survey plots, with automatic calculations for trees per acre (TPA), species percentages, and stocking classifications.

The template includes fields for surveyor information, date, acreage, number of plots, and plot size (fixed at 50 acres per plot). Data collection focuses on seven tree species (WL, PP, DF, LP, AF, ES, QA) across four size classes (3"-12", 1'-2.5', 2.5'-10', >10') for up to ten plots. The form automatically calculates total live trees, trees per acre by species, percentage composition, and stocking status (Stockable Plots, Stocked Area, Understocked, Non-Stockable). The completed example demonstrates a survey of 16 planted acres with eight plots conducted on February 14, 2026, by Tim Seaman of Missoula Forestry Co., resulting in 371.4 total TPA with 71% stocked area and 29% understocked conditions. The form is intended for contractors performing stocking survey work under the USDA Forest Service LMIR BPA Call Order for Lolo National Forest in Missoula and Powell Counties, Montana.
