Who you gonna call? Dustbusters!
To help keep the air clear and the dust down this summer on The Forest of Nisene Marks State Parks fire road, the Advocates for the Forest of Nisene Marks, State Parks and us here at Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks plan to apply Dust Off, an environmentally safe dust suppression solution.
Through a collaborative effort last year, our three organizations funded the re-grading of the road from the entrance kiosk to the Steel Bridge, put down 500 tons of new base rock and coated the road with Dust Off. Park users enjoyed the improved road.
Maintaining the road this year is projected to cost $14,500, which will be funded by the Adovcates and Friends. The Advocates have embarked on a fundraising campaign to help fund the project. To date, it has raised $2,000. Donate here.
