The Soil Regeneration Program
The Living Soils Laboratories Soil Regeneration Program empowers landholders, agricultural producers, government entities, and anyone with a stake in soil health to take action to improve their soil’s health.
By enrolling in the Soil Regeneration Program you will receive multiple Soil Ecology Analysis and assistance learning what soil stewardship is all about. The goals of each individual vary and we will custom tailor a program that works for you.
You may want to reduce chemical inputs and increase their yields simultaneously, or you may want to get away completely from herbicides and pesticides completely for the health of your community. Or you may want to restore a watershed, stop erosion, and be more water efficient. We can assist you with any ecosystem service that you need that involves land restoration.
Reestablishing your soil is a long term commitment. It can take up 5-7 years, sometimes shorter, for the soil to get back to health depending on management and practices used. A long term plan is needed to ensure that any detrimental practices are used for the long term health of your landscape.
