This section provides access to documents related to DOC procedures, including its Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). SOPs describe tasks or standards that must be met and are based on best practice.
The documents were written for DOC staff. They may include DOC-specific terms and make reference to internal documents that are only accessible to DOC staff.
This means you may need further help to do the work described. You also may need to get authorisation and caveats may apply.
These documents are being made available outside DOC to share departmental best practice. Any use by members of the public is at their own risk and DOC disclaims all liability in reference to that risk.
The Inventory and Monitoring Toolbox describes DOC's standard methods for sampling populations of plants and animals.
