How to Install Straw Wattles for Erosion Control

DOWNLOAD INSTALLATION GUIDELINES BELOW

This video walks you through the proper installation of straw wattles for erosion control using the standard trench method (CALTRANS Type 1). This video is for INFORMATIONAL purposes only and should not be used as construction specifications. More detailed guidelines available here: http://www.rcdsantacruz.org/images/br...


There is additional safety information for working in post-fire areas. For MOST post-fire landscapes, natural regeneration and no disturbance is the best option.

Contact your local Resource Conservation District for more information or for assistance with erosion control. Thank you to Ecological Concerns Inc.
