Streambank and Shoreline Protection

Streambank and shoreline protection consists of applying vegetative or structural measures to stabilize and protect banks of streams, lakes, estuaries, or excavated channels from scour or erosion. This video explores how Stoney Burningham implemented this conservation practice in Panguitch, Utah. Practice benefits:
· Reduces erosion
· Protects water quality
· Improves wildlife habitat
· Reduces runoff
· Improves vegetation
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
