Edmonton event to offer inside scoop on boreal soils

Those who have an interest in soil science may want to make sure their name is on the list for an event that departs from Edmonton, and will offer a deep dive into those found in the boreal transition region.

The listing prepared for the 2024 Alberta Soils Tour-Boreal Transition Region instalment explained that it may be helpful to soil scientists, as well as anyone else who works with the substance. It has been planned by the Alberta Soil Science Workshop Organizing Committee, and it will be led by subject matter experts.

The tour, which will include hands-on field opportunities, will explore how soil is formed in boreal areas, and the tour will offer insight into the soil profile at a variety of locations. At least four types are on the list, and it was explained that those who take part will need to reserve overnight accommodation. The activity will depart from Alberta Innovates in Edmonton, and it will run for two days. Two venues in Bonnyville will have special room rates available.

The listing for the tour explained that tickets are $225.00, and this includes meals, transportation, parking, snacks and also a guidebook to keep. A printing services company can prepare a variety of bound materials for a special event.

The 2024 Alberta Soils Tour - Boreal Transition Region is set to begin on May 29th. Its online listing includes the most current information.
