| Layout Narrative |
25m transect 54 degrees, plot at 12-14m on W side of line, plot 2x5m; Transect endpoints are permanently marked with rebar. Distance and compass bearing measurements to the plot location with measurements of plot orientation off the transect were taken. GPS coordinates for each corner of the plot was taken with submeter accuracy.
