<div dir="auto">Hi Bogdan,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I have been on projects where GPS alone does not suffice. Some field marking is required to allow "others" such as construction teams to find a reference point. These fellas often cannot id a tree. In urban streets and small res<span>idential
properties, tags are usually not needed. </span></div>
<div dir="auto"><span>Some rural sites, forested sites, and the like, field landmarks are needed. I would sometimes at the least tag some for that reference, but certainly not all. A little location descriptor can aid.</span></div>
<div dir="auto"><span>Not sure about the teaching part though...I think there is minimal impact, if any, to the tree, and if left long enough, can last for so many years<span></span></span></div>
<div dir="auto"><span><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="auto">Cheers,</div>
<div dir="auto">Peter</div>
