Fieldwork
Fieldwork, notebooks and review rooms.
How the work actually happens: site notebooks, survey desks, review tables and long afternoons in the records room.
Scoping notes for a watershed study, written before the first site visit.
A working desk mid-project: parcel files, drainage notes and marked-up plans.
The review table where code sections and permit conditions get read aloud.
A wetland monitoring point, resurveyed each summer for the watershed council.
Field notebook pages, transcribed and indexed for the project file.
Drafting a board brief from the source folders it cites.
Method and sampling plan agreed around the table before field season.
Standing water measured on site rather than estimated from a map.
