Elya Thorne opens the moss cover survey and the path maintenance cards at the shaded flats below Starleaf Bridge. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks footfall is concentrated at the single dry crossing after rain. The budbreak period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 67 transects with an undisturbed comparison strip. Elya Thorne reads the preceding count, 65, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
Path keepers prefer one durable route. Habitat stewards say the rest strip must remain intact to measure recovery. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
Asecond transect checks the reading against the living site. The Year fifth, budbreak window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The circle will test a second stepping line while keeping the comparison strip closed.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
