When you live on an eroding hillside, you’ve got a problem. Whenever it rains, valuable topsoil is being carried away.
This past Sunday, members of the Watershed Management Group’s co-op program were hard at work, restoring a homeowner’s hillside. The goal is to prevent erosion and stabilize the hillside so that native plants can grow on it. The plants were installed by WMG co-opers, and they will help shade and cool the property.
Like other WMG projects, this one involved a lot of gravel shoveling…
We also had to sort our big rock pile into smaller wheelbarrow loads, then take those loads to where they were needed…
Then the rocks were set into place on the hillside…
