Ecological Techniques for River Restoration & Erosion Control
September 17, 2015 @ 8:30 am - September 18, 2015 @ 4:00 pm
Selkirk College is hosting a course to help landowners, restoration practitioners and natural resource managers understand, develop and implement erosion control, habitat improvement, and water quality protection using plants!
This 2 day course is an in-depth review of soil bioengineering techniques and options involved in restoration and reclamation of damaged ecosystems using a combination of structural materials, vegetative cuttings and other specialized techniques. Soil engineering
is an applied science that uses live plant materials to perform an engineering function such as slope stabilization, soil erosion or seepage control.
The course is supported by the RDKB (Kettle River Watershed Management Plan & Boundary Electoral Areas), Selkirk
College, and Granby Wilderness Society.
2 classes: Thursday Sept. 17 and Wednesday Sept. 18, 8:30 am-4 pm
