Soil Bionengineering Handbook

Soil Bionengineering

Quick Link to our Soil Bioengineering Handbook

Soil Biongineering is at the heart of much of CUSP’s work! We work with the public, landowners, employees of cities, counties, CDFW and the Water Board to provide information on soil bioengineering techniques and practice.

Attendees of our workshops are given a theoretic and scientific background as well as opportunties for hands-on practice. Additionally, we provide a handout with resources to review and continue learning about Soil Bioengineering. Topics in our handbook include:

• Common Reasons for Installation Success and Failure

• Methods for Installing Posts and Stakes

• Installation Tips

• Bioengineering Specs

• Riparian Planting Zones

• Useful Stream Restoration Documents

• Permits Frequently Used for Small Scale Stream Projects
