How to personalize a template

Strong grass description makes ground condition readable at the scale the viewpoint can observe, shows how weather, maintenance, traffic or season changes texture and movement, uses grass to affect route or land-use interpretation, and avoids unsupported species or ecological claims.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
