Situation: A couple of years ago, I was responsible for carrying out Forest and Range Evaluation Program (FREP) surveys within the time frame. To meet the target, it was not easy, there were a lot of challenges: the shortage of crews and the budget was the main issue; there’s an accessibility problem; the most of the stands were dense and busy (unbrushed); and the deadline was approaching.
