The Pacific Regional Society of Soil Science helps to connect people working or studying in the field of soil science and related land resource management areas. Founded in 1983, the Pacific Regional Society of Soil Science was established to: • facilitate professional interaction within the discipline of soil science, which often includes related natural resources, • promote discussion and awareness of soil issues in agriculture, forestry and urban sectors, and • encourage networking and professional development. The society organizes seminars, workshops, and field trips, distributes newsletters and encourages all members to share their interests and knowledge. Our membership is truly an interdisciplinary group consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, consultants, professors, and registered professionals from various associations. The PRSSS is a grassroots professional organization that is always open to members' ideas and suggestions.
