Dry Forks Combo Trip
Project Goals and Objectives
Volunteers helped to install rock baskets and naturalize social trails by preventing incision around trailheads. Desert environments are easily disturbed by human tracks, this project aimed to reduce off-trail walking while also installing one-rock-dams to slow rushing water from sudden rain events. Seven volunteers completed this project in approximately 100 hours.
Structure Construction Elements
Ten one-rock dams were installed using local rocks collected from 1/4 mile away. The treatment site lacks large rocks, so having two big pick-up trucks and excited helpers made this task much easier. Having a sturdy and agile wheelbarrow was helpful in moving the rocks from the truck to the individual locations.
