At the northern ridge survey path, Talan Venn puts the ridge transects and the notes attached to older stakes beside a new marker sits one branch-width beyond the last clear-cut record. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.
Talan Venn is the survey lead for the ridge circle. On this rest season visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.
The the ridge transects and the notes attached to older stakes lists 94 survey points paired with a date and weather reading; the previous window lists 98. Aeren Thorn checked both against signed council records checked against the amendments residents submitted. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.
The current transect records a wider canopy. Older notes were taken from a lower path and cannot be compared without adjustment. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.
Stewards post the result alongside the original measurement. The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which approved a seasonal trial with a named habitat review.
