If you missed the “Overview of Streambank Repair” class, you can watch Watch the Recording Here

The recording will provide you with an overview of options for repairing hurricane damaged streambanks. You will gain skills to help you assess your stream to determine what you may be able to do yourself, and what may require professional help, and what may require a permit. You will get an overview techniques using natural materials, and native plants to restore banks to improve water quality, create habitat, and enhance recreational use of streambank areas. Through this class you will learn what livestakes are and how to install them. See additional resources below.

As a follow up to this classroom session, a hands on workshop will be held on March 27th from 1:00-3:00 p.m. For this portion of our streambank series, we will partner with Wendy Patoprsty of Blue Ridge Conservancy. We will work to restore a section of streambank along the Middle Fork of the South Fork of the New River, adjacent to the new Middle Fork Greenway. We will be planting plants that were donated to us last fall that include many flowering native shrubs and perennials. We will also be planting livestakes. This course will give you a chance to put into practice some of the principals discussed in the classroom session. The restored creekbank will be in an accessible area, where you can view the progress for years to come..  Registration and Details for the Restoration Field Experience
