Q: What changed in the Year third, rest season window 1 file?
Elya Thorne: Stewards post the result alongside the original measurement. That changes what is in the record; it does not automatically change the rule.
Q: Which evidence should residents read first?
Elya Thorne: the moss cover survey and the path maintenance cards. This window records 96 transects with an undisturbed comparison strip; the previous window records 91. The dates and the method matter as much as the total.
Q: Why is the disagreement still open?
Elya Thorne: Path keepers prefer one durable route. Habitat stewards say the rest strip must remain intact to measure recovery. Both accounts describe a different part of the shaded flats below Starleaf Bridge.
Q: What happens at closeout?
Elya Thorne: The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which approved a seasonal trial with a named habitat review.
Q: What should the public not assume?
Elya Thorne: That one window answers every future case. A new file starts with a new date and a new count.
