We completely agree that soil health is extremely important and should be incorporated in restoration and conservation projects. On this particular project (and other restoration work we are doing at Chatfield Farms) we are partnering with scientists at the Gardens and local universities to look at soil microbial communities to help guide our restoration efforts. We are also making healthy soils a central part of not only our restoration work but also farming efforts. Stay tuned as these projects are developed further and we can start sharing these efforts.
