Revegetation Erosion Control Materials and Methods

If erosion control fabrics are used in revegetated areas, they will be slit in appropriate locations as necessary to allow for plant root growth. Only non-monofilament, wildlife-safe fabrics will be used. All plastic exclusion netting placed around plantings will be removed after 2 years or sooner if practicable.

Development of this web tool was funded in part by the Wildlife Conservation Board and California State Coastal Conservancy (SCC), with funding provided in part by the SCC for continued updates. Thank you also to all the foundations and individuals that fund our Accelerating Restoration work!
