On Mount Lemmon, volunteers give unemployed rocks a new job: Erosion control

Volunteers are working on Mount Lemmon to implement erosion control measures by manually installing rocks into the soil. Participants, including Julius Gorton and Ella Marshall, are utilizing tools such as pickaxes to secure the stones into the ground to stabilize the terrain.

The effort involves digging gaps and hammering rocks into place to ensure they remain firm. This manual labor project aims to mitigate soil erosion in the area through the strategic placement of natural materials.
