"Dig It!" soil exhibit event January 3rd

You might remember a few years ago when the Smithsonian Museum, with support from the Soil Science Society of America, created "Dig It!", an exhibit about the complex world of soil. Well, now, the exhibit is on display right here in Minnesota at the Bell Museum of Natural History on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota.


The exhibit will run through July, but don't put off your visit. Several events are planned around it including “Big Thursday” when subject matter experts are on hand to guide visitors through the exhibit. The next one is Thursday, January 3rd, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. when Caryl Radatz (NRCS State Soil Scientist) and her colleagues will lead the gallery conversation.
