The team will be assisting the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the Forest Service by performing a gap analysis of current policy on the Pacific Crest Trail. Next semester, the team plans to continue taking samples on Mount Baldy and across the campuses and will begin providing recommendations and drafting policy for the PCTA and Forest Service.
