"Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function: A Teacher's Manual"

The latest version of Didi Pershouse's 150-page manual is available as a free download.

This manual was born out of many years developing discussion questions, activities, and investigations that help communities, farmers, and conservation groups learn how to secure abundant clean water and resilience to flooding and drought by working with nature's simple principles and biological processes.

Anyone can gather a group of people and go through these exercises together. For those who want to learn more about how to create resilient communities, sign up for a webinar or course with the Land and Leadership Initiative.
