+--  Create a tree_search view
+--    This view is used by geoserver to run cql queries from the search page.
+--    Fields not included in the advanced filters may be removed. Check the views code 
+--    to make sure a field does not help resolve some other fileter before removing.
+--
+--    Stewardship date columns may need to be altered if the choices for stewardship
+--    fields are changed. 
+--
+--    Add this view as a layer to geoserver and use it as the GEOSERVER_GEO_LAYER setting
