First map the hot spots and quantify the erosion. Then build a low‑profile boardwalk or stepping stones where the trail hits the most sensitive plants. Add clear signage to guide hikers onto the boardwalk. Use native mulch or stone edging so roots stay intact. For the rest of the off‑path areas, put in discreet natural barriers or fences. Run a quick workshop for locals to explain the purpose. Check progress with quarterly photos. That keeps the flora safe while still letting people walk the trail.

Got it. I’ll check the boardwalk sheets for any heat‑reflective or slip‑prone spots and swap to non‑sticky timber or recycled plastic that’s still sturdy. I’ll also install small motion‑sensor cameras near the wildlife crossings to watch for early trampling. We’ll lay down a 3‑inch pea‑stone mulch mix—low‑profile, good drainage, and it doesn’t invite extra footfall. I’ll drop you a photo of the first batch in a week and keep the updates coming.
