In this hands-on soil science walk, we will walk to several areas of the Wild Mile and surrounding neighborhood to collect, examine, assess and learn about the different soils on site from the shoreline, gardens, and into the water. Other examples of soils and substrates gathered along the canal will be on-hand for comparison and discussion.
