This series runs twice a year, once in the summer (July-August) and once in the winter (January-February).

Join us in our “Getting Down to Earth: Understanding soils for ecosystem resilience and repair” series to learn about the properties of soil, the ecology of soil in its microclimate and larger environment, and how to manage and remediate soil for your restoration site. These classes were developed and are instructed by Christina Pfeiffer and Rodney Pond and are a part of UW Botanic Garden’s Ecological Restoration for Professionals program. This series will be beneficial for those working in ecological restoration, landscape professionals, landscape architects and designers, and natural area stewards. Home gardeners are welcome as well!

Professional continuing education credits pending: APLD-2.25, CPH-2, ecoPRO-2, CERP-2, ISA-2.25, NALP/WALP-2, LA-CES-2.25 for each 2-hour lecture.
