Landscaping for Erosion Control and Pollution Prevention

Community Room. Prepare your yard or your land for heavy El Niño rains! When managed poorly, storm water run-off can erode and wash away topsoil that can pollute our waterways with sediment, chemicals, and nutrients. Join us at the Spring Valley Library to learn how to combat these concerns, whether in your small backyard or larger farm or ranch. Solana Center Educator Deanna Milton and guest speaker Craig Kolodge, PhD, Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control will explore effective compost application as a means of watershed protection through a case study of the manure composting demonstration site at Ramona's International Equestrian Center. Compost Strategies Discussed Mid-scale windrow composting Compost, compost socks, and compost blankets Water catchment basins and rock interrupters Native plantings To register for the event, please visit: https://www.solanacenter.org/events/landscaping-for-erosion-control-and-pollution-prevention
