Soil Stewards

Imagine healthy, productive soils expanding throughout the urban environment -- retaining rainwater like a sponge, processing stormwater pollutants, delivering nutrients sustainably to plants for wildlife value and food production -- Watershed Management Group is piloting a new program to develop urban Soil Stewards to realize such a vision!

Soil Stewards operate at both the individual and neighborhood scales. Read below to find out more and get involved!
