Looking for Streambank Projects to Assist
Have you ever gone on a site visit and been faced with an eroding streambank but aren’t sure of the next steps forward? Join Consortium partners over the next year on a streambank stabilization journey where we will go through the process together to identify potential sites, narrow down a site for a project, learn about design and permitting, and observe installation. JRA also has $30,000 to contribute to the selected project!
We are looking for partners to submit sites to be considered for cost assistance by July 31 via this Submission Form. Read the attached 2 pager for more information and see the timeline below.
A big thank you to Louise Finger with Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources for offering her expertise through this process!
