Information to record
Use these prompts to agree the record for your project. Keep the answers and their source references together; leave an unknown value explicit rather than filling it with an assumption.
- Tree ID
- Match the measurement to the mapped tree.
- Dimension
- Identify the direction or dimension being recorded.
- Value and unit
- Keep metres or the agreed unit explicit.
- Method
- Distinguish measured dimensions from estimates.
- Access note
- Describe obstructions that affect the record.
Checks for this task
- Confirm the project convention before recording the first tree.
- Do not silently average different dimensions into an unlabeled value.
- Check the exported schedule retains units and method notes.
A worked example
Illustrative example, not a client case: T004 has two crown dimensions recorded under the agreed convention. One is measured and the other estimated because the view is obstructed. The schedule keeps both values and their methods identifiable.
Scope and limits
This worksheet records measurements; it does not prescribe a measurement standard or calculate protection zones.
