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
- Use the same identity as the map.
- Height value
- State the unit and recorded precision.
- Method
- Identify an estimate or the measuring approach used.
- View note
- Record obstructions or restricted viewpoints.
- Review status
- Flag an entry needing further confirmation.
Checks for this task
- Use the same convention across the survey team.
- Avoid presenting an estimate as a precise measured value.
- Check report wording and schedule labels retain the method distinction.
A worked example
Illustrative example, not a client case: T020 has a height estimate with a note that the top was partly obscured. The exported schedule shows the estimate and the limitation, rather than adding decimal places that imply greater precision.
Scope and limits
This is a recording aid, not instruction for operating height-measuring equipment or determining assessment thresholds.
Use the worksheet
The download contains the prompts and checks above with space for your project notes. It is a plain text document you can edit in a text editor or copy into your project brief. It contains no client information and does not run calculations, import records or change an account.
