This was an unscheduled, special trail maintenance/restoration project. About two years ago, we did some extensive trail maintenance to correct erosion and related issues on the Camp 13 Trail. This work involved closing off two “short-cut trails from the Camp 13 Trail downhill into the campground. While these trails started in an area already eroded, hiker use has greatly increased the ongoing damage. Part of our remediation attempt was to plant some prickly pear in the eroded area to reduce the erosion and to discourage human use of the area. The prickly pear we planted were not properly prepared prior to planting so, did not survive. A few months ago, I collected some new cutting from the area, potted and tended to them. They were now ready for transplanting. The objective today was to transplant these new cuttings to the damaged area. There were 2 volunteers present. Planted seven cutting in the target, eroded areas and three others in nearby eroded areas. Watered each plant.
