A person wearing outdoor field gear and a wide-brimmed hat stands in a grassy field, writing in a notebook. In front of them, several wooden stakes with red markings form a small square around a soil sampling probe or auger. The sky is overcast, and rolling green hills and trees are visible in the background.
