![]() Our 26-minute DVD provides a general introduction to river dynamics and riverfront property management. It guides property owners through the basics of developing a plan for your property investment, taking into consideration: - Your location on the river (a high outside bend, a straight reach next to a popular fishing hole, or a quiet, sheltered area?) - The level of use you plan for (are you there only a couple weeks a year, or running a year-round B&B?) - The goals you hope to achieve (major restoration or just protecting what is already there?) |
![]() Our CD-ROM explores restoration and access methods in more detail. Short video clips discuss each method and help you decide what is appropriate for your project. You will learn the basic techniques involved in installing spruce tree revetments, brush layering and root wads. "Step by Step" instructions for each method can also be downloaded and printed from the CD-ROM. In addition, you will learn some basics about floodplains, wetlands, high bluffs and determining the Ordinary High Water mark. Stairways, floating docks and walkways are discussed, as is the permitting process and financial programs that are available to assist you with bank restoration and protection projects. |
