Baseline Documentation

A baseline document is a description of property features that establishes the conditions at a given time. They may include timber inventories, forest type descriptions, vegetation mapping, soil conditions, structure descriptions,          GPS data, photographic documentation and many other pieces of data. Baseline documents may be prepared for property sale appraisals. Baselines are also used in conjunction with conservation easements and are an              important part of the agreement between a landowner and the easement holder.
