Tree SMART FAQ - What is the Difference Between Inspect and Survey?

When referring to both Service Requests and the assigned operations in work packages, there are two similar but distinct options of Inspect and Survey.

 

The difference between the two is:

 

Survey: This is to perform a full survey of the tree, and would be used in most cases. In general, you would definitely use Survey when visiting a site for the first time and mapping trees into the system.

 

Inspect: This can be to add an inspection to a tree for any visit to the tree, such as remedial work that does not have a designated service request. You can also use inspect when a full survey is not required.
