Forest Thinning and Gully Repair

Year
2021
Abstract
One way of stabilizing and repairing gullies is to pack them with brush in order to slow the flow and distribute the energy of water, trap soil and leaf litter particles, and ultimately arrest sediment delivery downstream. With various limbing and thinning projects underway, we recognized the opportunity to stack functions and use the abundance of resulting material onsite (often called “slash”) to stuff nearby gullies!
