The USDA Soil Conservation Service has been involved in the planning and implementation of riparian revegetation projects throughout California. The goal of riparian revegetation encompasses one or more of the following objectives: (1) improve fish and wildlife habitat, (2) enhance visual resources, and (3) stabilize eroding banks. The complexity of revegetation efforts varies from planting willow cuttings along channel banks to designing and installing multispecies plant communities that require irrigation systems. The paper will review techniques and results, and case studies will be discussed.
