Tool: Site Assessment Worksheet

As you learn about and begin to understand your shoreline, you will want to document the information for future reference.

An easy way to organize the information is with the Site Assessment Worksheet. It is designed for your personal project. Just print out the two page worksheet and add it to your Project Folder. When finished, use the red "Back" button at top to return to this page.

As you begin thinking about your shoreline, you will become aware of the site conditions that can influence your restoration project:
  • Surrounding area
  • Topography
  • Drainage
  • Soil
  • Vegetation
  • Micro-climate
  • Views
Use the Worksheet to inventory your site and evaluate your findings to see how they apply to your project.

The Site Assessment Worksheet is an important tool that you will refer to throughout this process.
Complete the worksheet as you proceed through the Reading Your Shoreline chapter. You may need to
rely on past observations of your shoreline to complete some of the worksheet.

The Site Assessment Worksheet is an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file that requires Adobe's free Acrobat Reader 5.0 or newer to open. If you do not have Acrobat Reader installed or are having trouble opening the form, click the button at right to "run" the Acrobat Reader 5.05 installer program from it's current location on this CD.
