Is your stream getting deeper or wider? Do you lose some of your land every time it rains? Have you wondered why your streambanks are changing so rapidly and what you can do about that?
Penn State Extension will hold a series of 75-minute Backyard Stream Repair webinars on Tuesdays and Thursdays in March focused on helping you maintain and conserve your backyard stream. Each session will present a step-by-step DIY process for homeowners and landowners. The techniques are meant to be simple and affordable, and the benefits are wide-ranging.
What will you learn? Backyard Stream Repair can lead to:
- Improved bank stability and reduced erosion, saving property from washing away
- Added aesthetic property value
- A new sense of place and reduced noise
- Less cost and need for mowing, watering, and fertilizing
- Intercepted and reduced water pollution
- Available habitat for many types of wildlife (butterflies, hummingbirds, frogs, dragonflies, and more)
Webinars will be held from 2 to 3:15 pm on March 15th, 17th, 24th, 29th and 31st. Participants will have the chance to interact live with our experts and ask questions, or can watch recordings at your own pace.
Participants in this workshop will receive a complimentary copy of our full-color manual, Simple Solutions for Your Eroding Backyard Stream (United States addresses only).
Participants will also secure an invitation to future hands-on field workshops, open only to webinar registrants, which will be offered across Pennsylvania (as in-person events are possible and sites permit).
Cost of these webinars is $30.
