\nRegistration: $70 regular, $50 student.
\nPlease join us for our annual Pacific Regional Society of Soil Science (PRSSS) fall field trip on\u00a0October 1st<\/sup>\u00a0and 2nd<\/sup>. This year we will be exploring\u00a0soils along a precipitation gradient, moving from coastal forest soils, through to the inter-mountain\u00a0grassland soils of the Lillooet area. This diverse landscape will give us the opportunity to explore podzolic\u00a0soils characteristic of our high-precipitation coastal forests, luvisolic soils in the Lodgepole-pine and\u00a0Douglas-fir parkland, plus some dark brown and black chernozemic soils along an interior parkland\u00a0transect. There will be plenty of stops along the way to observe the slides and glacial landforms, which\u00a0helped shape the unique landscape of BC\u2019s southwest interior.\u00a0Camping will be available at Downing Provincial Park for the evening of\u00a0Oct 1st<\/sup>, or participants can\u00a0arrange their own accommodations in the Lillooet area. Ride sharing will be organized by the PRSSS and\u00a0rental cars will be booked if necessary.<\/p>\n
