*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.
