Quoted from the weekly eResource published by the National Association of Conservation Districts:
The Pacific Region hosts a widely distributed group of states and territories with a wide range of capacities to deliver conservation at the local level.
Man, despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication and his many accomplishments, owes his existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.
The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.
Essentially, all life depends upon the soil … There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together.
