The Year first, budbreak window 3 review of the moss bed habitat reached a new step at the shaded flats below Starleaf Bridge. The council records a decision for this site and review window. The board recorded the outcome that it approved a limited exception with a restoration date.

The the moss cover survey and the path maintenance cards lists 69 transects with an undisturbed comparison strip; the previous window lists 72. Sylva Reed checked both against field transects paired with the season and location of each reading. The next measurement is assigned to a second office and will be published with its method.
