TRAINING SPOTLIGHT 

FEATURED TRAINING

Bioengineering Field Demonstration

December 16 - Peshtigo, WI



The Marinette County LWCD is working with the WDNR and private landowners to control erosion and restore habitat along nearly 1,600 feet of the Peshtigo River. The grant-funded project will remove concrete rubble from 900 feet of shoreline and repair more than 600 feet of severely eroding shoreline. The entire streambank will be restored using a nature-based solution designed by SmithGroup and LimnoTech.

They will meet in Peshtigo to go over project details, then carpool to the site to view the partially completed project. The contractor (Geomorphic Restoration Inc.) will demonstrate the installation of root wad revetments and discuss other aspects of the project.
