At the Spring Workshop and AGM we announced 2 new awards that will be offered through the PRSSS and are funded by the Y.P. Heung Foundation. More information is coming soon.
Annually, the PRSSS accepts nominations and applications for the Warkentin Prize. The Warkentin Prize of $500 will be awarded to a student, or someone who has graduated within the last two years, that has published a peer-reviewed article in the field of soil science.
