<br />Anchored trees can be use.! as an effective method of stream bank protection on <br />most streams. They can b,! used on streams with any degree of meandering, The <br />trees can be placed perpendicular or parallel to the bank, The trees should <br />be as bushy as possible. Juniper and brushy willow work well. :he trees are <br />placed with the butt end of the tree against the bank and/or upstream. The <br />trees are anchored with cable and deadmen to hold them in place. The anchors <br />are located on the bank al: least 10 feet from the edge of the bank, The area <br />behind the trees is sometLmes filled with gravel or other material, This <br />helps hold the trees in pLace and also provides a surface which can be <br />seeded. Even when the arl,a behind the trees is not backfilled, "ome type of <br />vegetation should be established. The upstream and downstream end of the <br />reach must be protected te, minimize the chance of water getting behind the <br />trees and causing erosion, The most effective long-term result from this <br />practice occurs when vegetation has been established along the entire reach. <br /> <br />Ancho.ed Tree Revetment <br /> <br />Maintenance requirements for this practice include repairing <br />anchors. Disturbed spots or scour holes behind the trees or <br />should be repaired and protected. <br /> <br />,,"- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />damaged cable or <br />on the ends . <br /> . <br /> ~ <br /> ~ <br /> , <br /> ~ <br /> . <br /> . <br /> . <br /> ~ <br /> , <br /> , <br /> 1 <br /> ~ <br /> 1 <br /> i <br /> , <br /> 4 <br /> ~ <br /> ~ <br /> ~ <br /> 1 <br /> j <br /> 'j <br />
