Dave Webb confers with Jim Fitzgerald on a bank stabilization project along the Shasta River on the Freeman Ranch. The willows piled in the background are secured to the bank and trap silt, which rebuilds banks and prevents further erosion. This technique is effective on the Shasta because flood peaks are buffered by Dwinell Dam. See Easton Ranch photos that show effectiveness of this technique.
