Upcoming Spring Workshop
Event Details
Soil health has become a hot topic in recent years, as the negative effects of intensive agriculture and poor land use have lead to declining soil fertility. The theme for our 2023 AGM is “New Horizons: The Future of Soil Health. Register to attend here. The meeting will be virtual this year, on Zoom.
DATE: Saturday, March 4, 2023, 9am-3pm
Registration
Registration cost is $15 for students and $50 for non-students/ professionals*. The price includes registration and a PRSSS annual membership for 2023/2024. The 2023/2024 membership registration cycle lasts from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
*If you are unable to pay the registration fee the PRSSS can subsidize the cost, because Soil Science is for everyone and cost should not be a barrier to education. If you identify as Indigenous, we will waive the registration fee to reflect the fact that the soils we study are on stolen land, therefore all soil science research should be openly available to Indigenous peoples. If either of these scenarios are relevant to you and you are comfortable doing so, please email the PRSSS at prsssemail@gmail.com to let us know.
Registration closes Friday March 3rd, 2023 at midnight.
