to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are
in fact plans to protect man.” —Stuart

Erosion is a problem on San
Marcos Foothills, particularly in the eastern drainages.
Road grading, tree clearing, and typical cattle management
practices cause loss of native soil and excessive siltation
downstream. With proper management and restoration,
erosion can be reduced to natural levels. Photo by Tom
