###About Site Surveys A site survey can be any activity that helps you understand your project area more. In site surveys you can collect information by documenting what you see both in a written form, or by using photographs. You can also document information using other senses such as things you hear, feel or smell at a site. Data you collect on site surveys could include: - weather data, - topographical information, - site features, and - anything unusual. Site surveys are a great way to help you scope out a new project location. It can help you to: - Learn about the area, - Identify questions you're interested in exploring, and - Think about challenges the site has as it relates to project. ###Site Surveying Activities [activities:site-survey] ###Frequently Asked Questions [questions:site-survey]...
