The
Riparian Area Management Plan - Storing
the monitoring information
It is best
to keep a notebook or file folder specifically for your monitoring
program. This should be a separate document from your field notebook,
which may be damaged or lost. You don't want to lose all your data
because the notebook slipped out of your pocket or pickup "somewhere
out there."

The sapling in the lower right corner of this photo
could well be blocking this photo point in a few years.

Record the number
of each photo and its subject in the notebook as soon as you take
the pictures. When the slides or prints are developed, write the
relevant information (date, location, etc.) on the edge of the slides
or on the back of the prints.
Place slides
in a binder using non-pvc, non-acidic slide storage sheets and put
prints and negatives in 5 x 7 inch manila folders punched for a
three-ring binder or kept in a file folder. Save digital photos
on a CD, Mini cruiser or something that can be kept separate from
the computer
