types of samples commonly collected, and techniques to collect and label: foliage, wood, soil, seeds, pollen, weeds, insects
typical stock defects and visual characteristics from the effects of: pests, diseases, nutritional deficiencies
typical hazards present in forest environments, and methods of minimising risks and moving through the environment safely: slope, water, rock, undergrowth, slash, depressions and holes, falling or fallen branches
format, content and use of documents used to record forest data and sample collection and methods used to record information for analysis
purpose, features and safe operation of forest data and sample collection equipment: measuring tape, callipers, measuring poles, paint, purpose-specific balloons, flags, pegs, mallet, pruning shears, sample containers, digital equipment, lasers, Global Positioning System (GPS), drones
