Shoreline Protection Workshop
Shoreline Protection Workshop
Put on by the WIWCD on August 18, 2013 at the Parish Hall in St. Laurent at 3:00 P.M, .
Cris Randall gave a presentation on Bioengineering for Shoreline Protection
Combining natural vegetation with engineering techniques, bioengineering protects against shoreline erosion while sustaining habitat for wildlife and maintaining waterside landscapes.
The workshop covered a range of methods from basic planting principles to advanced protection for heavily impacted areas. Recent projects helped demonstrate how these techniques are being applied across Manitoba. With a little planning many of the methods used can offer land owners a lower cost alternative to more traditional hard engineering.
