How do <strong>cedar</strong> <strong>revetments</strong> work<br />

• The dense foliage and springy branches<br />

slow down and deflect current away from<br />

the <strong>bank</strong>.<br />

• Sediment is trapped in the crown of the<br />

horizontal <strong>cedar</strong>, allowing live vegetation<br />

to get established.<br />

• The durable trunk will last <strong>for</strong> many years,<br />

further protecting the <strong>bank</strong>.
