Parleys Creek Dog Access Bank Stabilization

We're monitoring active bank erosion at one of the most heavily used dog access points on Parleys Creek in Parleys Historic Nature Park. Rustic terraces, built from soil and bundled dogwood and willow stems (called "fascines"), were installed in winter 2021 to stabilize the soil erosion and minimize the impact of dogs. 

This project is a partnership between Salt Lake County Watershed and Salt Lake City Trails & Natural Lands.
