Shrub Willow - Fascines
(6-10’ bundles) salix spp.We are excited to offer willow stakes and fascines this year for groups and property owners to plant on eroding slopes and for stream bank stabilization projects. Fascines are dormant branch cuttings from hybrid shrub willows with branches trimmed off and no current roots, bound together into long cylindrical bundles. These bundles are placed in shallow trenches for fast-growing root and vegetative growth which slow erosion and shallow sliding.
Willow stakes and fascines are a low-cost option of plant materials for stabilizing lakeshores and river banks. They are well-suited for areas with low to moderate slopes. Healthy vegetation in shoreland areas helps prevent soil erosion while providing shade, pollution filtering, and food for aquatic organisms. And once fully established, this vegetation provides the roughness to slow high water flows, resulting in a native wildlife habitat and a thriving environment that needs little maintenance.
Note: Each fascine needs at least three stakes for anchoring it.
