instruction with John McCullah of Salix Applied Earthcare who will teach
techniques to restore riparian habitat, control erosion and stabilize banks.

and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Santa Barbara</st1:City></st1:place>

control where roads were improved and brush check dams installed to retain

creek channel and banks where different methods were employed included willow
mattresses, coir biologs, and brush bank protection. </span></font><font

Luis Creek Project was implemented in 2001 to stabilize the creek channel and
banks by using a few different methods one of which was a willow mattress that
did not survive but is working nicely as brush bank protection. Coir biologs
were installed at the toe of one of the banks and were designed to be undercut
to provide steelhead habitat. A bank failure after this project was completed
was remedied using coir fabric filled with soil and stacked like burritos up
the bank and integrated willows into the wall for added protection and cover. A
good “learn-by-doing” story by Brian Stark goes along with this
project. Pennington Creek Project, implemented in 2001, stabilized 150 feet of
nearly vertical creek bank by installing a vegetated rock toe and willow
mattress along with four rock wing deflectors and three willow baffles.</span></font><font
