Do
you have a stream on your property that is eroding land during or
after storm events? Maybe the stream has started cutting deeper into
the channel, creating more of a gully. What kind of solutions are
available?
A
new guide called, Small-scale Solutions to Eroding
Streambanks, gives you the tools to choose the best option for your
situation. Created by the NC Cooperative Extension BackyardStream Repair
team and funded through the Urban and Community Forestry Grant from the
North Carolina Forest Service, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service, Southern Region
What’s inside the guide?
·
Options including: Do
nothing; Plant vegetation without grading; Grade banks to a stable slope and
vegetate!
·
Step-by-step instructions
for the option you choose.
·
Who to call for advice.
·
Materials needed and
where you can get them.
·

work.

Hard copies will be printed
soon. Need more than just a guide to help you decide what to do?
We’ve got a hands-on workshop that further enhances your understanding of how
to deal with an eroding streambank. Visit the Backyard Stream Repair
website to see when the next workshop will be in your
