WoodStrand is an erosion control product, designed to be spread on bare ground. It will act as cover for newly seeded areas, to protect from erosion and seed being washed away, until germination can occur. WoodStrand can be transported into remote areas where slope blankets and straw blowers are not an option, and applied with no special equipment. It does not require crimping into soil after application, and will naturally bond with itself to create a wind resistant ground cover. Made from quaking aspen trees harvested in the mountains of the San Juan National Forest, WoodStrand contains no harsh growth inhibiting substances that can be found in pine wood-based products.
