Field trips are a fantastic way to develop and improve our understanding of soils and landscapes.
Everyone should get out every now and then. If we spend too much time in the office or the study – then we are in danger of becoming ‘carpet scientists’ instead of soil scientists!
This page is a place to share the field trips the SKN members love or have been on.
Please note that these trips may include sites on private land and you may need permission to enter.
