PREPPING THE BURN SCAR FOR A VOLUNTEER REPLANTING EVENT
In addition to our Dedicated Restoration Team replanting at Four Peaks, we also needed to prep the area for the Four Peaks Replanting Event we hosted on 02/19/22. Our team collected cacti from several construction and private land sites, transported them to Four Peaks, unloaded and moved each cactus to it’s new home where it will have the best chance of survival, and dug holes with augers and pick axes to get the appropriate size and depth hole, and then left the rest of the process for volunteers to complete.

Watering cacti in the desert
Watering cacti is not only valuable in providing initial water to reduce transplant shock, it also aids in compacting the soil around the freshly planted root network. We did not need to water for this project because it rained sufficiently during both project weeks. We will continue to monitor the area and water as needed if we do not get sufficient rain.
