Minnesota Soil Bioengineering Handbook
The Kestrel Design Group, Inc.

This handbook was developed for a state agency to assist project managers, crew members, and other governmental agencies in understanding the most current techniques for soil bioengineering.  It is also envisioned as a resource for the larger design profession, including landscape architects, engineers, and contractors in private practice.  Soil bioengineering is a self-sustaining technique that utilizes native plant materials, along with rock, to stabilize streambanks.  The handbook uses both graphic and written documentation, including plan details, photographs, species lists, and descriptions, in order to provide the best available information.  The book discusses plant establishment and management, includes project case studies, and provides a glossary and a listing of additional resources.
