FAESS

Founded in 1975

We are an organization of like-minded individuals who have a passion for soil. We currently have approximately 90 members. Each fall we hold our business meeting at a different location around the state. In the spring we host the hydric soil workshop. Several of us meet to assist in Land Judging and Evirothon school contests. Each of these activities are an opportunity to calibrate our selves amongst each other and to renew old friendships. If you share our passion for soil, we invite you to join and attend one of our meetings. We have several members from neighboring states.
