I had my yard landscaped and used medium sized bark as a ground cover. Some is on a slight slope. I have now been told I will probably loose my bark when it rains. Is there anything I can do to stop that, anything I might be able to use to hold the bark down?

I don't know if you'll have that much trouble, I have bark mulch on some pretty steep hills in my yard and haven't had any trouble with it. Here's a pic of part of one of my hills to give you some perspective.
