Tuesday, March 14, 2023, 9:00 AM - 11:15 AM PDT
Category: Workshops and Meetings

6 Tuesday Sessions (2.25 CEUs each)

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.
