SUMMARY:Live Staking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A DIY guide to natural shoreline protection\nJoin us\, in partnership with the Maine Forest Service and Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District\, for a hands-on Live Staking Workshop at Salt Bay Farm. \nWhat is Live Staking?\nLive staking is a low-cost\, natural “bioengineering” technique used to repair eroding shorelines. It involves taking dormant cuttings from specific native trees and shrubs—like willows and dogwoods—and planting them directly into the ground. Because these species are incredibly resilient\, the “stakes” will grow a new root system\, effectively creating a living wall of vegetation. \nWhy is it necessary?\n\nReduces erosion: The new root systems act like “rebar” for the soil\, binding it together and preventing it from washing away during heavy rains.\nProtects water quality: By stabilizing the bank\, we prevent sediment from clouding the water and harming aquatic life.\nCooler habitats: As these stakes grow into mature shrubs\, they provide shade that keeps water temperatures cool for native fish.\n\nWorkshop Details\nThis interactive session will be led by Maine Forest Service District Forester Jared Gregory. Participants will learn how to identify the right species\, how to harvest stakes without harming the parent plant\, and take part in a live planting demonstration. \nPlease come prepared to work outdoors. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy boots\, and bring work gloves and hand pruners or loppers if you have them (we will have extras available). \nWhether you’re a landowner\, volunteer\, or simply curious about conservation practices\, this workshop offers a great opportunity to learn by doing and connect with local conservation partners. \nWeather Contingencies: In case of inclement weather\, the rain date is scheduled for Friday\, April 10th. All who register will be notified. \nPlease register using the form below. \nQuestions? Email Bell at bmoroney@coastalrivers.org
