Symphony of the Soil Morrill Memorial Library

This film by Deborah Koons Garcia (2013) is an investigation and celebration of what is rightly called the interface between geology and biology. It takes between 700 and 1,500 years to generate an inch of topsoil, and 90% of U. S. cropland is now losing soil faster than its sustainable replacement rate. How can we help make a difference in conserving this vital resource? What are others doing to preserve soil? The film is sponsored by Together Yes, a local nonprofit organization.
