Format: Oral Symposium
Keywords: educationforest soils

Session Description: This symposium will build upon the 2005 article of Fisher et al. (Forest soils education and research: Trends, needs, and wild ideas) and address questions such as: Are opportunities for getting FRW Soils education fewer and different than before? How relevant is FRW Soils education in the 'real' world? We will examine FRW Soils programs, assess how FRW soils education is used in the real world, and, possibly, challenge ourselves toward reinventing FRW Soil education.
