Reversing Erosion on Semi-Arid Grassland Ranches: A 10-Year Analysis CART Case Study Handout

The Altar Valley Conservation Alliance (AVCA) formed an interdisciplinary team to rehabilitate a fenceline road in Altar Valley of southern Arizona, slow soil erosion, and restore vegetation using “Natural Channel Design” techniques. This project, the Elkhorn/Las Delicias Watershed Restoration Demonstration Project (Elk/LD Demo Project), serves as a public demonstration site where participants collaboratively monitored results of restoration implemented in 2012 for 10 years and learned about the long-term results of erosion control strategies by comparing treated channels to similar untreated ones.
