 WVAPSS and the West Virginia Chapter of the Soils and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) teamed up to sponsor a trip to the new soils exhibit, titled "Dig It! The Secrets of Soil," at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. In what had been an exciting year for both organizations, members of WVAPSS and SWCS were there for the opening of the much anticipated soils exhibit. Information about the exhibit may be found here.
