About this Event
In this hands-on workshop participants will learn basic physical geology of the area through direct study of rock, mineral and soil samples. Later we leave for the field to do a brief ready practice soil assessment methods of testing composition, structure, permeability and how this helps shape soil ecology.
The workshop will end with a lively discussion of our experiences and findings and next steps to stewarding soils more deeply and intentionally to support their healthy ecology. Participants are asked to bring 1/2 cup of soil (taken from a depth of 6/15cm), a paper and pencil for notes and dress prepared to go outside.
