This training is designed to provide field employees engaged in conservation planning and others with an overall understanding of soil health and sustainability principles to guide them with recommendations for land management.
Soils form the fabric of conservation planning and understanding the soil survey is foundational to evaluating resource concerns. This two day course will provide an overview of the soil survey program, methods, soil maps, Web Soil Survey, interpretive information, and other soil resources that support technical staff with the conservation planning process. Soil genesis, properties, and soil landscape relationships will all be outlined.
