About this Report

In July 2012 I visited the Peace River region with the Pacific Regional Society for Soil Science on their annual Summer Soil Identification Trip.  My trip report, which I’m hoping to receive directed studies credit for, can be found on this site.  While the layout may appear different than a traditional paper, the important parts are all covered.  My intention has been to provide more dynamic way of presenting and interacting with information.  Feel free to browse around the various posts that appear as photo icons on the homepage, as well as the pages I’ve included to provide a bit more context about who is writing this.

If you are interested in a more thorough, systematic look at soils in the Peace River Region, click here to see the 1965 Soil Survey Report by Farstad, Lord, Green, and Hortie.  If you’d like to learn more about the wonderful world of soil, here is a listing of soils courses in BC.
