SUMMARY:Ohio Soil Health Week
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \n \nWe invite anyone who is interested in planning an Ohio Soil Health Week event to complete this form.  \nOn 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.

SUMMARY:Healthy Soil Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join the Hamilton County Conservation District for a morning of fun and learning as we celebrate healthy soil—and the first annual Ohio Soil Health Week!! \nHealthy soil supports growing healthy food\, both in our backyard gardens and in our crop fields. Healthy soil also supports communities that are good places to live: nourishing shade trees and landscaping\, absorbing rainwater\, and supporting diverse wildlife. At the Healthy Soil Festival\, you can learn ways to help improve and protect soil in your own yard or neighborhood. \nThe Open House style Festival will include interactive learning stations and exhibitor and vendor booths. The last hour of the Festival will be a program on soil testing with a speaker describing how to conduct a soil test\, how to interpret results\, and introducing methods to improve soil fertility to achieve your growing goals. Attendees are welcome to bring their soil test results (if they have tested in advance)\, or they can pick up soil test kits that day to bring home. \nRegistration is recommended but not required.
