Featured Featured Event Series Healthy Soil through Maximum Biodiversity: Farmscape Models for Resilient Design Using Pollinator Habitat

Soil Analysis, Carbon Sampling and Planting for Resilience

Indian Line Farm 57 Jug End Road, South Egremont, United States

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to accurately sample soils for comprehensive chemical analysis, including soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient profiles. We will analyze in situ the biological, physical and chemical properties of soils, including compaction, infiltration rate, soil texture and structure, surface biology, soil aggregate stability, root behavior, soil temperature and bulk density. This integrated approach provides a thorough understanding of soil health by combining quantitative data with qualitative observations. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about Landscape Interactions’ collaboration with Indian Line Farm to transform a portion of their working landscape into a refugia for at-risk native bees, butterflies and moths through the incorporation of biodiverse, perennial and productive native plant communities - and help to install a portion of the design on site alongside the designers and farmers.
