Harvest map

It is advisable to include reference in the contract to a map of the harvest area, which indicates locations of landings, stream crossings, boundary lines, and critical areas to avoid (e.g., wetlands, sensitive habitat). Likewise, the map can designate the area on the property in which the harvest will take place.
