What we asked for, and what came back
Published whether or not anyone replies. A blank in the right-hand column is information, and a page that only appeared once the answers were good would not be worth reading.

The naming rule, visible in every row above. The subject is always an organisation or nobody. The festival is named, the municipality is named, the institute is named. Every individual stays out, on every page, permanently, because we do not know who decided what, and until a document says so, naming a person would be inference dressed as fact. It is also the difference between a request a colleague can simply answer and one that has to be handled.
Two things are expiring, and no request can conjure them
The GPS boundary of the disturbed ground
Twenty minutes with a phone, walked against the published polygon, recording where real disturbance departs from the drawn line, which is a far stronger record than a bare track. The camp comes down and the ground recovers cosmetically, and after that this is a reconstruction rather than a record.
Geotagged stills of the boundary
Between disturbed and undisturbed ground, which is what an ecologist actually reads. The moss photograph proves the pipeline works: it self-located in the standard tags, so this is now a matter of walking the edge rather than of equipment.
Also outstanding and not time-limited: Sentinel-2 before-and-after over the polygon, from the Copernicus Browser.
