Registration cost will be $15 for students and $50 for non-students*. The price includes registration and a PRSSS annual membership for 2021/2022. The 2022/2022 membership registration cycle lasts from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

*If you, or someone you know, are unable to pay the registration fee at this time, please email us at prsssemail@gmail.com and we can make other arrangements. Soil science is for everyone, and cost should not be a barrier to education. If you identify as Indigenous and would like to attend the event, we will waive the registration fee to reflect the fact that the soils we study are on stolen land, therefore all soil science research should be openly available to Indigenous peoples.
