San Lorenzo River, Fern Canyon showing the original slide in Winter '96-'97 and subsequent repair. The slide pushed the river into the opposite bank, threatening homes. The riprap was built to protect the homes, but without vegetation. A few years after installation, an attempt was made to revegetate the riprap. The later photos were taken in 2004, showing that the area has naturally revegetated with alder.
