Supporting resilience to river floods through science, policy, and community outreach
Streambank planting
Place name or River name:
South River / Chapel Brook confluence, Conway MA
Watershed:
Deerfield
Latitude:
42.512811
Longitude:
-72.743406
Description/Comments:
Vegetative planting in soil with fabric overlain to assist in retention of soil. With time and vegetative growth, these should continue to capture sedients during high flows and build a more stable, albeit quite narrow riparian area that will serve as a buffer between the retaining wall and the stream.
