At Aguinaga, here in Orange County east of Irvine Lake, we work and live in the pristine natural environment of Baker canyon, enjoying nature at its best and also experience first hand vulnerability, when it comes to erosion.
Notice how rich sandy loam soil has been totally stripped from a hillside leaving only rock and underlying clay-laden material which will have difficulty fostering growth.
Notice how even relatively gentle hill slope still is invaded with downward rivulets gouging away material and leaving an unsightly path behind.
Notice how a gulley is easily formed as water collects and looks for an exit to the lowest level it can find.
Now by comparison, note how mulch covered hillsides – gentle as well as steep - are basically intact, and even after the heavy rains we have experienced, remain with their grasses attached. Aguinaga continues erosion research with Cal State riverside and continuously monitors testing on erosion remediation materials.
