Soil Health talk slated at library

Brian Bell from Whitman Conservation District will talk on “Soil Health: What is it and Why You Should Care” at Whitman County Library's TEK Center at Colfax Library on Monday, April 8, at 6 p.m. Farmers, gardeners or anyone interested in learning more should attend this presentation. A growing number of America’s farmers are using soil health management systems to improve the health and function of their soil. But what exactly is “soil health”? This class will explore the interesting facts about healthy soil and how to develop and maintain it.

The “Science on the Palouse” series will continue the second Monday of each month with regional experts exploring new topics and issues. Sponsored by The Whitman Conservation District, these presentations are geared toward adults, but youth 10 and older are welcome to attend.brianwhitmancd@gmail.com
