Rock Lack Conservation District's staff recently collaborated with a local landowner to tackle severe erosion along the Palouse River.
Together, they installed rock toe protection (a row of stones to support the streambank) along a half-mile stretch of the river bank. After a recent flooding event, the solution worked perfectly— protecting the bank and improving water flow.
Amazing work, Rock Lake Conservation District!

With 400+ acres of riparian restoration planned, the project is already helping to reduce flooding and improve the river's health.
