Speaker: Dan Schwartz, Soil Scientist, Northern Virginia Soil & Water Conservation District

There are more living things in a gram of soil than people on the planet... and it can take 500 to 1,000 years or more to form one inch of soil. A long time for a little soil, consider how much has changed since the beginning of the Middle Ages.

Soil scientist Dan Schwartz's presentation begins with the basics, covering what soil is and how it is formed. Dan will also talk about factors that influence soil types, variability and role in the environment. Whether you are a wildlife watcher, gardener or interested in community appearance efforts, Dan has information that's important to your success!
