Soil Your Scarf: a citizen science project, Wednesday 30 April 2025
Ecologist Jess Leonard led a citizen science project that invited participants to knit a tiny scarf (all materials were provided) while talking about soil ecology and care. The tiny scarf is used as a measuring device and buried within the topsoil to gauge soil life activity and health. In the lab participants looked at soil life from previously buried scarves under the microscopes and Jess talked about how to implement changes to protect and care for our soils for sustainable soil biodiversity in our own environments.
