Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

FWPHAR5201 - Design harvesting plans

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for coupe harvest design

  1. Analyse workplace health and safety (WHS), environmental and regulatory requirements for the design and operation of harvest activities.
  2. Determine coupe locations using map and grid references and establish boundaries.
  3. Identify local authority coverage, approved land use zonings and apply for additional approvals.
  4. Obtain land ownings.
  5. Analyse and consider ramifications of environmental issues documented in previous harvesting plans.

Design harvesting plans

  1. Analyse and record topography, forest types and available species.
  2. Calculate gross area of each coupe and determine nett area to be harvested.
  3. Calculate and record volume estimates for each coupe.
  4. Analyse and calculate harvesting and cartage requirements.
  5. Assess environmental conditions and plan site preparation, access and operational activities.
