The Owen Sound Field Naturalists (OSFN) invite you to learn about the Soils of Grey and Bruce, with David Morris.

Why do we have so many different types of soil? How were they formed? What makes one soil different from another?

How do those factors affect the way they are managed? What makes for a “healthy” soil?

David Morris’ long career included his work with OMAFRA, where he also shared his expertise in nutrient management and soil fertility. In addition, he was knowledgeable about field crop and corn production practices and was a prolific author of many reports, factsheets, and articles in Ontario Corn Producer magazine.

In his own words: “As a Soils and Crops Specialist, my primary function was to advise farmers on matters related to crop production and soil management practices.”

Morris has also been a key member of OSFN’s publication committee and has led many helpful botany-themed hikes.

This event is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 12, at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

Everyone is welcome, with admission by donation and free for OSFN members.
