Stream Bioengineering

In cooperation with local county officials, Americorps volunteers, the EPA, the USDA Forest Service, and the USDA National Resources Conservation Service, living trees and shrubs have been used to stabilize the stream banks of South Table Creek through a variety of Stream Bioengineering techniques. Facines, brushmattress, timber cribs are all being tested and evaluated as to their effectiveness. These biotechnical streambank protection techniques help to stabilize slopes, improve infiltration, filter runoff, improve habitat, and enhance aesthetics.
