At Ridge to River we specialize in bioengineered streambank restoration. This technique involves using specific structures of vegetation and rock to re-build and strengthen natural stream features. In addition, we offer services in riparian, wetland and terrestrial restoration, focusing on erosion control, ecological enhancement and aesthetic design.
At V. Sattui Vineyards we employed bioengineering techniques on the eroding bank (bottom left) to prevent further degradation. We installed a brush mattress, baffles, and woven wall using locally harvested willow (bottom right). If left unprotected, streambanks like these are vulnerable to winter storms, potentially resulting in the loss of valuable acreage.
