The stands will be check-cruised to specifications to ensure quality data. Contractors may also have the chance to
perform tree marking, boundary marking and timber cruising on private land. The work terms will be negotiated on a
per-project basis as they become available and the Contractors will work on other these other projects at their
discretion.
