Instructions for Completing RGT-held CR Monitoring

a. If this is the first year that RGT has owned the property, close this file. Monitoring does not need to be completed in the first year. Please use the longer (First Year) Stewardship Plan and Trail Assessment.

b. Complete #1, & #2 (recommendations from last year's monitoring) WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING the trip, BEFORE you organize the property committee to do the monitoring/stewardship planning - if you do not have the green property notebook, you can always find last year's information on the Board-only part of the website (or, if all else fails, in the blue Archive Notebook at the Leverett Family Museum).

c. Please save this form with the name of the property and the year - for example: Schuyler Monitoring Report 2014. (If you don't save with property and year, it will be hard to sort out all the Monitoring Reports later)

d. Carry with you a copy of the monitoring map and photos.

e. Please add a monitoring map (and any necessary annotated photos) at the end of the report.
