Backyard creek restoration expertise?
Our creek in the El Cerrito hills channels a LOT of storm run-off during the winter and has suffered extreme erosion, cutting away closer to the bridge and yard/house. Looking to hire someone to assess the situation and work on some restoration.

Hi - I am not sure - but there is a local active group called Friends of Five Creeks. They meet monthly at St Alban's on Washington Ave i Albany. Suspect they will know a lot about creek restoration. http://www.fivecreeks.org/about/
You can contact your local resource conservation district (Most likely the Contra Costa RCD). RCDs are government entities (special districts) and tend to specialize in erosion control and protecting the watershed. All areas have one. They should be able to find someone to help you do the restoration properly and may have opportunities for partially funded programs to help with your restoration. Good luck.
