Our June chapter meeting with be a joint event hosted by our chapter and the Western New York chapter.

Speaker: Lisa Taranto, “Thank the Soil for Everything!”

Beneath our feet there is a thin layer of complex and sophisticated activity which never fully stops. Some might call it magical. Trillions of life forms are constantly exchanging information and energy. And this tiny to microscopic life is what supports terrestrial viability. And like all natural systems, it is seriously compromised by human activity. The dynamic relationships between bacteria, fungi, decomposers and the rhizosphere are only recently revealing their stories to us, as they have been quietly working in the dark for eons. We will look at the BIG picture of the consequences our actions have had on global soils, and current understandings of where we are headed, and what can be done to rebuild respect and regeneration of this incredibly fascinating realm.

Our chapter meetings are held on Zoom. Please join our chapter or our mailing list and look out for our email updates if you would like to join in!
