Dig It! The Secrets of Soil

Without soil, life on land would not exist as we know it. The soils under our feet are a vast reservoir for life and play a part in almost every aspect of human existence – food, housing, clothing, medicine, ecosystems and much more.  This vital living system is the focus of this dynamic new 5,000 square-foot Exhibition scheduled to open at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History on July 19, 2008.

Visit the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History Web site devoted to their new exhibition - Dig It! The Secrets of Soil.
