2006 West Regional Cooperative Soil Survey Conference
in conjunction with
Western Society of Soil Science Conference
Park City, Utah
June 19-23, 2006
The 2006 West Regional
Cooperative Soil Survey (WRCSS) and Western Society of Soil Science (WSSS)
conferences were held jointly in Park City, Utah, from June 19-23, 2006. The
conferences provided many opportunities to share information and build
partnerships between these two organizations with interests in soil resources.
The WRCSS theme was
“Innovative Applications of Soil Survey: Meeting the Changing Needs of Today’s
Society”.
The WSSS theme was “The
Relevancy of Soil Science to the Needs of a Changing West”.
A joint, mid-week field
trip to the Heber Valley and Uinta National Forest areas highlighted the use of
soils information to guide land management. The tour was divided into three
general areas of land use management: growth pressures and challenges to
community land use planners in Park City, cooperative watershed programs in the
Heber Valley area, and Forest Service watershed assessment and restoration of
the Strawberry Valley.
A joint poster session was also held with good representation from both societies.
All meetings took place at the Prospector Lodge and Conference Center located in
beautiful Park City, Utah, from June 19-22, 2006.
