Controlling Soil Erosion on My Land

 Ideally, soil erosion control begins with soil erosion PREVENTION, and certain plants are excellent at soil erosion prevention. Working with the District, landowners have a number of solutions available to them. Field borders, grassed waterways, contour farming, terraces, grade stabilization projects and gully repair are all natural ways of fixing erosion problems. Contact us to learn more...
Plant native wildflowers, trees and grasses
Another option for non-cropland would be native plantings. Deep-rooted, native grasses, trees and wildflowers provide sturdy groundcover
and hold soil in place. Windbreaks, shelterbelts and living snow fences are also great ways to complete landscapes, attract wildlife and slow wind erosion and loss of topsoil on your land.. Learn more...
