Stream Bank Stabilization and Restoration Program

The Stream Bank Stabilization and Restoration Program is a state-supported initiative under the Partners For Conservation Program. It is designed to demonstrate effective, inexpensive vegetative and bio-engineering techniques for limiting stream bank erosion. Program monies fund demonstration projects at suitable locations statewide and provide cost-share assistance to landowners with severely eroding stream banks. The program is implemented in partnership with Illinois' Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
