Conservation Northwest

123 Only place stations in >10% tree cover (eye level and above). When you encounter natural openings, meadows, new clear-cuts, ponds or small lakes that exceed 30 m in width while walking transects, do not include the distance across these open areas as part of the 100 m between transects (Fig 3). For example, stop counting your steps when you enter an open area, then continue your count when you exit the open area. When you encounter roads (or other developments) place station on the other side of the road and out-of-sight.
