Step 2—Selecting survey plots
In each benchmark survey site, select at least 1 survey plot as follows: (a) divide the survey site into rectangular portions that are 50m by 10m; (b) exclude any portions that are not: (i) entirely within the survey site; and (ii) at least 50 metres from any road, track, fence or man-made water feature; (c) select 1 or more survey plots from among the remaining rectangular portions, using a random process that discards any selection that is less than 2 kilometres from a previously selected survey plot (whether or not in the same survey site).
