We all depend on soil for survival!
Georgia 4-H Land Judging is preparing youth to protect and improve land through leadership training and a state competition. This program gives youth an appreciation for soil and the opportunity to learn soil structure, power of erosion, classification and proper land treatment. Georgia 4-H Land Judging teaches youth how to evaluate soils and understand best land uses in a fun, hand-on environment.
The team is open to 4th-12th graders. Practices will be each Thursday from 4:30-6:30 p.m. through August 25, with the state competition taking place at Rock Eagle 4-H Center on Saturday, August 27. Gordon County 4-H held its first land judging team practice last week, but it’s not too late to join; please email allie.griner@uga.edu if you are interested in participating.
