Stewardship info:

Join the WCA on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. for trail work and cleanup at Devil’s Lake State Park. The first day of the WCA’s erosion control and step building at two sites below the East Bluff East Rampart project. The first site would be just below the "Pedestal Buttress" and the climbing route "Pine Box". This would be a new site that is in need of attention due to erosion from climber foot traffic. The second site would involve the continuation of efforts made to reduce soil erosion at a high traffic site just below the "Leaning Tower Gully". Both of these project sites would include efforts being made to transport by hand individual 5 gallon buckets of gravel from the pile site along the upper access road to the project site as well as moving large rocks via the use of "rock slings" in 5-8 person teams from various locations nearby the high erosion sites.
