Hey All,
John has an article in the latest issue of Land & Water Magazine! Entitled Environmentally Sensitive Streambank Stabilization, the piece talks all about what went into the Willow Creek Project.
It’s a great read, check it out here.

That’s it for now. We are headed back into the editing room to work on the OHV video. So, hopefully we’ll be able to share some OHV video and erosion control goodness with you soon
When I was at the Willow Creek Site last week, I came across this interesting little slope stabilization technique…
I believe they call it the ‘Alberta Sneaker Method‘. Start with a Sneaker, Soil Nail it, and top off with Flexterra. This being a relatively new method, John is still working on the typicals and studies are ongoing at Colorado State University to see if efficacy rates are affected through shoe type. Does a tennis shoe provide superior erosion control versus a casual loafer? These are the things we need to find out before this method can be adopted industry wide.
Just in case you’re not familiar with Slope Nailing…
