Restoration Workshop: Erosion Control Structures

A Collaborative Learning Workshop by Melissa Houser of Santa Fe Conservation Trust and Jan-Willem Jansens of Ecotone Landscape Planning, LLC. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn the tricks of the trade on how to build low-tech, process-based restoration techniques with rock and wood materials. These structures will kickstart plant and soil regeneration to reverse land degradation over time. We will address rock and brush dams, brush mattresses, log mats, wicker weirs, one rock dams, and media lunas. Participants will receive hands-on instruction on the construction of these simple structures, along with helping spread gravel to stabilize our new accessible trail.

The workshop will be from 9 am to 3 pm. Lunch will be provided.

Sandwich Options – Ham, Turkey, Veggie, or Vegan
