Live Staking Workshop
Do you have a stream on your property that has issues with erosion? Are you losing more and more of your yard every time it storms? Then live staking may be an appropriate, and cost effective, solution to repair your stream bank.
Live staking involves using dormant cuttings of fast rooting woody native plants to revegetate a stream bank, holding it in place and preventing erosion as the plant’s roots grow. A vegetated stream bank is essential for a healthy riparian buffer and to prevent erosion.
In this workshop, we will introduce live staking and stream repair including best practices and species to use, when to install, and where to get live stakes. We’ll then have a hands-on workshop in partnership with Mountain Valley’s RC&D to repair a section of stream bank along the Swannanoa River in Azalea Park.
Date: Friday, January 26th
Time: 1pm-3pm
Location: Meet at overflow parking lot at Azalea Park (the empty field between the last soccer field and the dog park). — Parking here can be tricky. The best place to park is usually by the last soccer field closest to the overflow lot, here.
For questions, please email [email protected].
