Soil erosion prevention goes hand-in-hand with tree removal

The Debris Management Task Force (DMTF) is seeding any disturbed soil potentially impacted by tree removal activities.

Along highways, crews are chipping slash and other tree debris and spreading the chips on slopes to help stabilize the area. The DMTF is also hydroseeding using a slurry of seed and mulch and mulching areas after hazard tree removal.
