Greg Berg, Stearns County SWCD, discusses successful erosion control application on a steep bank.

Seventeen participants attended the Shoreland Maintenance workshop held in Sauk Centre on August 16. Participants compared various treatments at four sites, with discussions led by Eleanor Burkett and Mary Blickenderfer (U of M Extension Service) on maintenance issues and potential solutions, management techniques, and plant identification of “weed” and desirable species. This workshop was co-sponsored by the Sauk River Watershed District and the Stearns Soil and Water Conservation District.
