Creating a healthy and beautiful streamside for all
Do you have a stream on your property? Have you considered restoring a streamside for bank protection, wildlife habitat and shade for the stream?
People who live along streams, creeks and rivers face different challenges than the typical landowner. While these properties offer many attractive benefits, they also require care.
That’s why our partners at Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District developed two helpful resources – a free workbook accompanied by a short 4-part video series – to walk you through stream restoration process and maintenance step-by-step.
Download and view the following resources:
- Streamside Planting and Maintenance Workbook walks you through the process from analyzing the site to multiple-year maintenance, including guidelines on how to survey your site, incorporate native lants, manage invasive weeds and more.
- The 4-part Riparian Restoration Video Series (a companion to the workbook) helps you visualize the various stages of streamside restoration including site preparation, planting, and maintenance.
