IECA course outline:
This course will focus on the use of native plant materials as the primary and long term solution to limiting excessive erosion on large and small scale projects. Participants will be made aware of seed collection techniques and why select seed species may not be available from year-to-year. Participants will learn the major components of effective vegetation planting plan and how to compliment short term erosion control products to fulfill long term vegetation strategies. The Webinar will tie in available planting methods, conservation practices and erosion control materials into successful rehabilitation/restoration outcomes. Multiple case histories will be presented showing the effectiveness of plant materials to minimize the impacts of excessive erosion following disturbances.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand and describe the challenges of seed collection and availability.
- Ability to develop an effective planting plan.
- Describe how to combine common sense conservation practices, short term erosion products and vegetation (seed) into successful reclamation outcomes.
