Hold Your Ground: Erosion Control for Home Landscapes

with UGA Extension Master Naturalists

Join UGA Extension Master Naturalist Heather Kolich to learn about how to manage erosion control in your home landscaping in this adult-focused, family-friendly presentation. By learning how to plan, plant, and maintain landscapes wisely, you can create a healthier, more sustainable yard that saves money, reduces effort, and protects the environment. After, if the weather is good, we'll walk outside to look at erosion control methods used in Denmark Library's landscaping.
