Attendees will learn how to protect and improve the natural environment of streams by stabilizing a streambank. NC State University, Green Riverkeeper, and other local experts will provide practical, cost-effective solutions using natural materials and native plants to create healthy, stable streambanks and repair small scale repairs. This is a stream-side, hands-on 3 hour workshop.

There will not be any classroom instruction or certification option provided. You will receive hands-on instruction covering streambank repair using natural materials and native live stakes and plants.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Important Reminders: Please be prepared for winter weather. Long sleeves, closed-toed shoes, long pants, waders if you have them are encouraged. Please bring plenty of water, snacks and any medications you will need throughout the day.
