Understanding Soil & It’s Importance: A Conservation Class

Be prepared to be amazed by the soil beneath your feet. We are probably biased, but after this class, we think you’ll agree just how inspiring and helpful that a class on soil can be. This class includes a discovery walk at Farm in the Wildwood to demonstrate and enhance concepts learned in class.

Introduction to Soil Science: You’ll learn about the composition, types, and functions of soil as well as the role of soil in supporting plant life and maintaining ecosystem health.
Soil Conservation Techniques: Understand soil erosion including why it happens and how to avoid it, how to improve soil fertility, and maintain soil health in your own outdoor spaces
Local Soil Types: Identify and describe the predominant soil types in Upstate South Carolina. We’ll also discuss their characteristics and suitability for different land uses.
