The Work
We will work to address the impacts of noncompliant ORV travel and illegal camping in the area. Our tasks will focus on campsite remediation, including: firering removal, naturalization of illegal vehicle tracks in protected areas, vertical mulching and other techniques to direct travel flows, and installation of educational signage to inform future visitors.
Our Objective: To better manage camping and travel impacts in the Behind the Rocks WSA.
