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.

Nance Klehm has been an ecological systems designer, landscaper, horticultural consultant, and agroecological grower for more than three decades. Her approach is centered on instigating change by activating already existent communities, and her work demonstrates her lifelong commitment to redefining the way human populations coexist with plant and animal systems on this planet.
A consultant, speaker, and teacher, Nance is internationally respected for her work on land politics and soil health. We are so excited to have her at Gwenyn Hill Farm. Learn more about Nance and her work HERE.
