Ohio Soil Health Week
November 10 @ 8:00 am - November 16 @ 5:00 pm
Ohio Soil Health Week provides a time and space to celebrate, honor, and protect Ohio’s soils. This weeklong celebration includes outreach, education opportunities, and events to raise awareness around Ohio’s most valuable natural resource: our soil.
The celebration will occur annually every second full week in November, honoring the late David Brandt, a sustainable agriculture trailblazer and the “Godfather of Soil Health”, whose birthday falls that week. Ohio Soil Health Week will feature a variety of events hosted by multiple organizations and individuals around the state—all celebrating soil health.
We invite anyone who is interested in planning an Ohio Soil Health Week event to complete this form.
On April 9, 2024, Ohio State Senator Tim Schaffer introduced Ohio Soil Health Week as an amendment to H.B. 162 to the Ohio Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. If you would like to support this legislation with testimony, a letter of support, or by contacting your state representatives, please contact OEFFA Grassroots Policy Organizer, Lauren Hirtle, at lauren@oeffa.org.
