[Forest Sample Application](https://github.com/zanethomas/forest)

I’m new to Ember and put together the referenced sample project as a learning exercise. There are deeply nested routes with a couple wrinkles thrown in for fun. For example :

> /trees/tree/{id}/branches/{id}

> /trees/tree/{id}/branches/{id}/tag

> /trees/tree/{id}/branches/{id}/leaves/1

All resolve the same templates.

I’m looking for comments as to how the application could have been better designed (or coded!)

Tia!
