STATUS: An independent reader compares the copy with the source record. The current arrangement remains in place at the northern ridge survey path.
RECORD: the ridge transects and the notes attached to older stakes. The count is 51 survey points paired with a date and weather reading; the prior window recorded 50.
DISPUTE: The current transect records a wider canopy. Older notes were taken from a lower path and cannot be compared without adjustment.
OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.
NEXT: The Year second, budbreak window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The survey circle will publish a crosswalk between the old path and the new transect.
