This field methods book is a technical support document intended for use by forestry field practioners to ensure high quality data collection and interpretation for forest practices in British Columbia. This field methods book is intended to assist field practitioners with the delineation of strata, collection of site-specific field data, and initial development of silviculture prescriptions throughout British Columbia, and has been designed to promote the consistent collection of field data on Field Forms FS 39A.

This document is not a substitute for education, training, and field workshops relating to soils, ecology, soil conservation, slope instability, or management strategies. This, and other handbooks or guidebooks, provide support to complement these other activities. The use of this field methods book is not a statutory requirement and should therefore be used with discretion and as appropriate.
