Soil bioengineering may be used in combination
with, or is often a better alternative to, traditionally

biodiversity and habitat function, meet scenic vista standards,
resolve storm water compliance problems, meet most regulatory
requirements and may exceed permit standards. Any course
below may be taken individually.
