STATUS: The steward attaches the original field record and the last method note. The current arrangement remains in place at the shaded flats below Starleaf Bridge.
RECORD: the moss cover survey and the path maintenance cards. The count is 96 transects with an undisturbed comparison strip; the prior window recorded 100.
DISPUTE: Path keepers prefer one durable route. Habitat stewards say the rest strip must remain intact to measure recovery.
OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.
NEXT: The Year fifth, seedfall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The circle will test a second stepping line while keeping the comparison strip closed.
