Natural Retaining walls with landscaping facing west to Pond B

Recent rainy weather in the East Bay has caused soil to saturate and erode. My Eagle project aimed to prevent and slow down these processes. With the help of others, I gathered 40-50 varying sized logs from around Tule Ponds. The logs were placed in half circle trenches dug into the sides of slopes facing West to Pond B. I came out to work on the project a total of 4 times in the span of 3 months, with long periods in between due to bad weather.

Many thanks to: Francis Doan, Landon Nguyen, Lee Nguyen and especially to Dr. Blueford for approving the project
