Volunteers are needed to help SDRUFC plant over two dozen trees at San Elijo Campground.
Years of drought and water restrictions, heavy site use, combined with pests and disease have all but wiped out much of the vegetation at this iconic campsite. But there is help on the way. The park has recently received a grant for re-vegetating and irrigating the north end of the grounds. SDRUFC is helping out with some additional funds to plant native 5 and 15 gallon trees.
These trees will help soften the effects heavy campground use has on the site and the surrounding community. As they mature they will provide shade to cool the area and intercept smoke and exhaust from vehicles and generators.
Trees are provided but we need gloves, pry bars, and shovels to get the trees in the ground.
