Join us for an interactive, field-based training designed for health agents, regulators, and onsite wastewater professionals looking to strengthen their understanding of soil evaluation. This workshop will take place entirely outdoors*, where participants will work directly with multiple soil test pits under the guidance of experienced instructors and NRCS soil scientists.
Why Attend? Attendees will gain practical experience identifying soil horizons, determining texture and structure, recognizing redoximorphic features, and interpreting site conditions for onsite wastewater system suitability. The training will also introduce how to use NRCS soil survey resources and discuss how field observations inform real-world regulatory and design decisions. This is an introductory-level workshop and is not a soil evaluator certification course. It is ideal for those newer to soils or anyone looking for a refresher in a hands-on learning environment.
