Registration is open for our annual meeting in Mendocino County. Please make your plans to attend and, as usual, enjoy mixing with other soils enthusiasts and visit this beautiful northern California area.
This meeting is a joint effort between the Professional Soil Scientists Association of California (PSSAC) and the California Forest Soils Council (CFSC).
The focus of the meeting will be on the vast soil offerings of Mendocino County. Stops will include the Ecological Staircase, prescribed fire in coastal forests, climosequence of soil moisture and temperature regimes from coast to inland and ecological relationships, Willits Bypass Mitigation project and grazing, and more! Tours by carpool will be on Friday and Saturday.
Thursday, June 5th – Travel to Mendocino for afternoon arrival at camp for registration and social hour.
Friday, June 6th – Tour Day 1
Saturday, June 7th – Tour Day 2
Sunday, June 8th – Explore Mendocino County on your own as you travel home.
We have reserved a campground with canvas tent-cabins (that include cots/mattresses) and central bathrooms, showers, and kitchen at Mendocino Woodlands Camp Association for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights (Thursday will be for gathering, and Sunday will be for packing up and saying goodbye). Dinner will be provided Friday evening (BYOB), followed by a brief business meeting. CFSC will provide a dinner (maybe BBQ) on Saturday. Some snacks will be provided, but other meals will be on your own, including bringing a packed lunch during the field tours (kitchen is available for use on site, Fort Bragg is about 40 min away, Mendocino is 35 min away).
NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED AT CAMP, OR WE WILL LOSE OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT. PLEASE LEAVE PETS AT HOME. If you have a licensed service dog, please let us know, and we can work with the camp ahead of time.
