Norbeckers gather to help Patty Lynch, USFS Wildlife Biologist, construct fencing to limit offroad access.
Simple yet extremely durable and effective.
A good time was had by all.
The Hike to Re-Seed begins. We followed the old Black Hills & Ft. Pierre Railroad grade.
But we found it!
Though it appears to be an area of great destruction. You can see that the Earth has a way of repairing itself.
With the help of Earthorizons and the National Forest Service we closed unauthorized trails and re-seeded the desecrated areas.
A job well done!
