8. When you determine that the boundaries in the Map Book are different than the boundaries that you perceive, which boundaries do you use for collecting data?

Your perceived boundaries

The map book boundaries

N/A – I did not use the Map Books

If you determine that the boundaries in the Map Book are different than the boundaries that you perceive, you should use your perceived boundaries for collecting data. This means that you rely on your own understanding and interpretation of the boundaries rather than the boundaries presented in the Map Book.

Explanation

This means that you rely on your own understanding and interpretation of the boundaries rather than the boundaries presented in the Map Book.

9. When you discover the project boundary lines are not accurate in the Map Book, you;

Collect the data within the boundaries provided only and keep your thoughts to yourself

Reach out for your local Hanley Wood contact and ask him/her how to proceed

Use the boundaries you believe are accurate and do not inform anyone of the discrepancy

N/A – I have not experienced incorrect project boundaries within the Map Book provided

If you discover that the project boundary lines are not accurate in the Map Book, the best course of action is to reach out to your local Hanley Wood contact and ask them how to proceed. This ensures that you are following the correct protocol and allows for clarification on how to handle the discrepancy. Simply using the boundaries you believe are accurate without informing anyone may lead to misunderstandings or errors in the project. Collecting the data within the accurate boundaries and sending the adjusted Map Book page back to your Hanley Wood contact after redrawing the boundaries yourself is the recommended approach.
