Program Overview
Are you experiencing minor to moderate stream bank erosion on your property?
We partner with NC State to teach workshops about small-scale solutions for eroding stream banks. Attendees participate in hands-on streambank protection, invasive treatment projects, and installation of native plants and live stakes to re-establish streamside buffers.
Sign up to attend a Stream Bank Repair Workshop in Raleigh or the surrounding area!
