Engineered Wood Composite Erosion Control Material

Durable, economical, and highly functional erosion control materials for use in high stress, arid and semi-arid environments are not generally available. And, few uses exist for value-added products made from woody residuals created by small-diameter forest thinning and wildland/urban interface fuels reduction operations. The project will create a durable erosion control system using the lowest value woody residual, providing an erosion control solution for land managers while creating a market for unusable wooody biomass.
