[MCN] Missoula CD Events to Celebrate Montana's First Soil Health Week

[Bryan Vogt]

Did you know that April 1, 2024, was the start of Montana Soil Health Week? No fooling!

In 2023, the Montana Legislature passed a bipartisan resolution designating the first week of April as Montana Soil Health Week and the first Wednesday in April as Montana Soil Health Day. The weeklong celebration is designed to raise awareness about how healthy soils can increase crop yields, strengthen food security, create greater climate resiliency, and improve nutrition. Soil Health Day and Week highlights the work of everyone stewarding soil health across Montana.

To help celebrate Montana Soil Health Week, the Missoula Conservation District is hosting the following two events:
