Several sites must be dwelt with soon. We have several options. In wooded heavily washed areas planting woody bushes with large root mass may be a first step. Pond building or swale building may have to be considered in the most drastic cases. In less heavily wooded and washed areas we may be able to fill in the ditches and seed with a soil stabilizing grass or actually transplant sod.
Further research is necessary.
A formal Ecology Land Use Plan is being developed to guide the planting and maintenance of the villages natural resources. If we can provide for all of these considerations then we will be able to truly set a sustainable example for land use in our bioregion. Reasonable uses authorized without permission.
