Pre-flood the creek bank was up to 10 beyond these trees. Now it is about 2'. If I let the creek keep eroding it will take the trees and cut off my access around the garden. So this fall the trees will be cut up for firewood. It will open up sunlight to grow grass on the bank and get morning sun on the garden. It won't hurt to keep walnut roots back too. I can anchor scrub pine trees at the bottom of the bank to trap sand and silt and re-build the bank. It is a technique that my late buddy Darcy Keil and I used to stabilize a lot of creek banks in the area.
