White Rock Trail Survey - 02-20-2022 - by Ari Songer

Link:	White Rock Trail
Date:	02-20-2022
Surveyor Name:	Ari Songer
Trail description:	Group of 20 UCSB students worked White Rock Trail just above the junction with the connector. The trail is in good shape overall, but still needs some brushing between E. Pinery and White Rock Connector. The lower section where chamise is most common should be worked in the next couple years by grubbing out chamise rather than hedging it. There are still erosion issues due to the placement of the trail, but not much has changed over the last few years. HUGE plot of chocolate lilies under the pine right past the junction with White rock connector. Amazing!
Mode of transport:	Hike
Trail condition:	Needs some work
