Sitka alder is a valuable shrub for slope and stream bank stabilization and general erosion control on disturbed, nutrient poor sites. It can be planted for acid, coal, placer, and copper mine spoil reclamation, soil enrichment, and other land rehabilitation efforts where an easy to establish, deciduous shrub is desired (Uchytil, 1989). ................
