The Navajo Nation is the largest American Indian reservation (covering roughly 27,413 miles), including parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado; USA. A tree species within the Navajo Nation that is currently under threat is the Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis), whose numbers have decreased over the past decade. This species is in need of conservation efforts if it's to survive climate change. In August of 2019 we began our restoration site planting at Borrego Pass, New Mexico. Borrego pass is located approximately fifteen miles from Navajo Technical University, Crownpoint NM. We chose this location because it is known as a pinyon-juniper woodland along with other dominant species such as mountain mahogany, sagebrush, and snakeweed. In total 232 pinyon pine seedlings were planted at Borrego Pass, New Mexico the seedlings were separated between fifty-one sets of four differentiating two different areas: cliff-edge (clay), and non-cliff (sand) edge surface. A total of 56 seedlings were planted within the clay surface, and 148 seedlings were planted within the sand area. The set of four seedlings has its own substance or mycorrhizal planted, with one nurse type. After months of allowing the seedlings to grow on their own we learned the importance of the soil moisture regarding the content playing an important role within the growth progress of the seedlings.
