Spilings

2016-2017 Interpretive Trail Stream bank remediation, Salmon River.  The crew stabilized eroded areas by creating willow spilings.  This technique originated in the UK and involves weaving long willow whips around posts embedded into a rock toe with strips of coconut matting forming a wall behind.  The willows eventually grow into the bank and form a solid wall.
