Which survey establishes permanent forestland and protected area boundaries by ground survey?

Delimitation survey is about fixing the limits between land uses or jurisdictions on the ground and marking those limits with permanent monuments. For forestland and protected areas, this means physically establishing where one area ends and another begins and placing durable markers so the boundary is clearly defined and can be maintained over time. This direct ground-based demarcation is what sets permanent forest and protected area boundaries. Cadastral surveying deals with boundaries for ownership and legal parcels, not specifically with establishing long-lasting boundaries for forest or protected areas. Geodetic surveying focuses on establishing accurate coordinates over large areas within a reference network, not the on-the-ground demarcation of land-use boundaries. Plane surveying is a method suited for small-area work where curvature can be ignored, again not the purpose of defining permanent, managed area boundaries like those for forests or protected zones.
