Important steps in the operation 



7. 



Marker: Call out measure- 

 ments and tree number to 

 tallyman. 



Key points 



If tags are being used, marker will 

 tell tallyraan the tree number. If 

 crayon is used, tallyman will call 

 out a number to the marker. In this 

 case a separate series of numbers 

 should be used for each species and 

 size stratum so the tallyman will not 

 have to thumb through other pages to 

 see what the next number should be. 

 The use of tags eliminates this 

 difficulty. 



1. Tallyman: Record data of 

 sample tree. 



Record tree number, d.b.h., height, 

 and cull percentage in space 

 provided . 



9. Marker: Number sample tree 



Use aluminum numbering tags, or if 

 trees are being blazed, numbers can 

 be written on blaze with a crayon. 



10. Marker: Measure and number 

 all "large" trees, as they 

 are encountered. 



Same measurements as made on sample 

 trees. 



11. Tallyman: Record measure- 

 ments of all "large" trees 

 on special form provided. 



Form for large trees is different 

 from sampling form. See sample on 

 following page. 



12. Marker: Measure and number 

 all trees of species which 

 are not plentiful enough 

 to sample . 



Species in this category determined 

 in advance of field work. 



Tallyman: Record measure- 

 ments of all trees measured 

 in 12 above on separate 

 form. 



This form the same type as one used 

 for large trees.
