Reading the development notes
The Field Notes document what changes on a second visit to the woods. We keep environmental sound, water movement and restoration evidence separate enough that a reader can tell which observation supports a conclusion. The notes link to the grove studies and to the places where an apparently small clue changes the route a ranger takes.
