Covering Common Ground: Soil Management Plan Components and How to Pull it All Together (online). This is class 6 of 6.

In this final class of the series students will share their soil management plans developed over the previous 5 classes and discuss them with their fellow students and instructors. Emphasis will be placed on best practices for changing climate and drought resiliency.

Understanding soils – what they are, how they function, how they degrade, and how to steward them back to health – empowers restoration professionals to design and implement more resilient and self-sustaining ecosystem restoration projects. This series of classes will build from the ground up a holistic knowledge of soils that will enable students to understand how and when to choose soil stewardship techniques and most importantly why they work based on soil science.
