Erosion and sedimentation control is typically accomplished with grass/legume mixtures. On streambanks, hillsides, and seep areas, “live stakes” (dormant but live wood cuttings) of water-loving willows and related species can be used to reinforce soils beyond what can be resisted with grasses and legumes and increase the erosion resistance of soils by creating a root mat that reinforces and binds soil particles together. Live stakes can also provide habitat for wildlife.
