Calling all future soil scientists! This school year, we’re challenging kids to head outside and explore the ground beneath their feet. Pick up a handful of soil and see what you notice. Are there 🪱earthworms? What color is the soil? Can you find bits of leaves or roots?

Healthy soil is full of life and helps grow food, filter water, and support healthy ecosystems. Who knows, you might discover a future career in conservation! https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2022-12/Montana-Hand-in-Hand-for-Soil-Health.pdf
