Maps of the campus were printed and brought to the agricultural class and students and myself set about determining the location of and size of suitable areas to conduct the inventory. Groups were made and were assigned to at least two specific areas out of 21 designated areas in the campus. All areas of the school were included, and students are going to seek permission to conduct their inventory work.

Below is a map of the campus divided into specific areas for the inventory, and student names have been allocated to specific areas to conduct the inventory.

A session on how to collect data was convened and through question and answer sessions students developed ideas of how they were going to conduct the collection of data. Use of Google Sheets, Google Photos, to record trees is going to be used. In addition to this students are going to make notes about each tree they collect data on and mark this on their specific section of the map. This will lead to a map being drawn with all trees marked on to it.
