Healthy Soil and Water Quality

When soil is healthy, streams and lakes have a better chance at staying clean.

• Less pesticides. Plants growing in soil with a good balance of nutrients and a thriving microbial community will be stronger and will tolerate pest damage.
• Less heavy metals and other pollutants. Microorganisms will break down toxins and bind heavy metals.
• Less problems from stormwater. Soil with good structure will hold stormwater and slowly release it over time, cutting down on erosion problems.
