Posted by Peter Donovan 7 years, 9 months ago
The Soil Carbon Coalition, with Peter Donovan and Didi Pershouse, completed a working residency with Sequoia Riverlands Trust (SRT) in October-November 2017. The purpose:

- develop capacity in SRT and in local high schools to make repeatable observations around soil health and watershed function
- promote the possibility of a shared, evidence-based understanding of soil health and watershed function in the San Joaquin Valley, and learn what works for this
