Tier 2 Pollinator Scorecard
The Tier 2 datasheet, developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group, can be used to generally assess habitat quality. It can be used by most assessors but some skill level is required to identify percent plant cover, flowering plants in bloom, habitat resources, and management threats and opportunities. Use with the Pollinator Scorecard User’s Guide.
Tier 3 Pollinator Scorecard
The Tier 3 datasheet, developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working group, provides a more detailed assessment of habitat quality. It is intended for advanced users who are able to identify most plants to species level. Use with the Pollinator Scorecard User’s Guide.
Scorecard Management Module
The Pollinator Scorecard Management Module is used to evaluate the suitability of management activities for pollinator habitat on each plot or site. This tool provides valuable information to consider alongside the habitat quality ratings.
