Much of the survey work I am
undertaking involves large numbers of trees and to try and identify them
from a drawing minus the aid of GPS would be impossibility. With a numbered
tag the margin for error is greatly reduced. GPS is all well and good for
the surveyor however if the end user (client) doesn't have the same
capabilities the technology is wasted.
I have to say I'm surprised by how many people do seem to be using GPS/GIS.
I also have to say that the sort of sites I seem to deal with most frequently
just don't have so many trees that a drawing won't cover them. Leastways if
there are a lot of trees in a group or woodland then they get treated as er a
group, as BS5837 says we should....
I'm not sure what Nick is doing although I know he's reviewing TPOs, I'd
remind him that IMO trying to individually plot a load of trees in a woodland
for a TPO would be far better treated as a woodland, a more versatile and
powerful tool. Especially if you can't clearly identify which tree is which
in a
woodland...
Interesting though, probably better pay more attention to the kit-purveyors.
Bill.
