Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
This aerial mulching project will treat 1,811 acres of BLM lands within the East Troublesome Fireburn area by stabilizing burned hillslopes and reducing peak flow runoff into adjacent water bodies. Helicopter application of wood mulch will serve to prevent erosion, reduce runoff, and contribute towards revegetation.
Wood mulch has been shown to reduce peak flows and increase soil moisture, which speeds revegetation. By reducing overland flow from bare soils, the total sediment load and peak flows to unstable stream reaches is also reduced. Unstable stream reaches are particularly vulnerable to further erosion. Large peak flows and sediments coming from the hillslope can amplify instream erosion and lead to massive bank failures, ultimately contributing to debris flows. This is a concern not only for natural resources but also for property and lives.
The areas treated under funding from BLM will provide...
