A decision on the treeline survey should be judged at the northern ridge survey path, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Compare this season’s measurement with the living site and the people who steward it. The current file is the Year first, rest season window 2 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The the ridge transects and the notes attached to older stakes lists 48 survey points paired with a date and weather reading; the previous window lists 43. Sylva Reed checked both against field transects paired with the season and location of each reading. The difference matters because whether the line moved because of regeneration, an older map error or a different survey method.
The current transect records a wider canopy. Older notes were taken from a lower path and cannot be compared without adjustment. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, a new marker sits one branch-width beyond the last clear-cut record.
The board recorded the outcome that it approved a seasonal trial with a named habitat review.
