Inspectors may use photographs to provide a visual indication of the landscape appearance and, where relevant, the vegetation and condition of sites subject to management.
Landscape photographs will be long-distance shots or panoramas of the whole unit and should, if possible, include some identifying feature. More detailed records will be close-up photographs which, if possible, should be tied in to specific reference points to make subsequent photographs of the same spot or area possible. Photographs should be date stamped with the date of inspection.
Photos of value will either be:
- Stored electronically and a reference put on file or
- Mounted on cards, inserted into transparent envelopes and retained in the file.
