Sub-compartment Creation Data

Sub-compartment Creation Data is used to record establishment-related information, useful for completing woodland creation plans and grant applications, as well as for planning operations, and providing a permanent record of trees planted. Data are automatically copied into the relevant sections of Creation Downloads in the control panel.

Click on the ⋮ menu beside your Sub-compartment in the sidebar (click on the Compartment first if you cannot see your Sub-compartment), and select Edit Creation Data.

Creation data provides the option to record:

Details - eg. current land use, ground preparation, tree protection.
Inventory - tree species, plant type, size, year planted, predicted yield class.
Stocking - stocking densities and tree quantities are automatically calculated from x- and y-spacing measurements.
Plant information - record plant traceability details.
Work Programme - this is split into:

  • Establishment Operations.
  • Silvicultural Operations - post initial planting process, including weeding, beating up, thinning.
  • Other Operations - additional work such as deer impact assessments, ecological surveys.

See the individual tippies on each tab for more help.
