 Foint Campground, 

 Sawtooth National 

 Forest. 



The entire campground was closed during construction for the 1966 and 1967 seasons. 

 This permitted replacement of tables, fireplaces, and charcoal grills, as well as instal- 

 lation of a water hydrant system and central flush toilets. The campground closure was 

 continued until July 1, 1968, to give the seeded grass more time to become established. 



HOW TREATMENTS WERE APPLIED 



Four cultural treatments were applied to 16 units during the 1968 and 1969 growing 

 seasons: (1) grass seed only (control); (2) water and seed; (3) fertilizer and seed; and 

 (4) water, fertilizer, and seed. Variations between the apparent plant growth potential 

 of the soil on the upper and the lower portions of the terrace dictated a block design 

 for the study. Fortunately, eight units could be located on each of the lower and upper 

 sites of the terrace. Each treatment was randomly assigned to two units on the upper 

 site and two units on the lower site. The treatment area around each unit consisted of 

 an 85-foot square area that included the "facility pad" and "tent pad." 



During June of 1968 grass seed, trees, and shrubs were planted. Indigenous tree 

 and shrub seedlings were moved with a soil ball to the campsite from an adjacent area. 

 They were planted in locations selected to block discontinued paths and roads. An un- 

 known quantity of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) seed was broadcast over all parts 

 of the campground where the soil had been disturbed during construction--road ditches, 

 pipeline trenches, and any fill around parking spurs or table pads. Discontinued roads 

 were tilled and seeded. Seed was raked by hand into the soil.
