Urban Soil (Carbon Water) Summit 1.0 – SOIL IN THE CITY

Dr. Sophie Parker from The Nature Conservancy coined the term “SOIL IN THE CITY.” Prior to that, we had been struggling with how to define the gathering: It’s About Soil. It’s also about Carbon and Water. And it’s an Urban thing. But the “Urban Soil Carbon Water Summit” didn’t just roll off the tongue. Dr. Parker showed up for her pre-conference interview, began calling it SOIL IN THE CITY, and we knew we had a winner.

On February 24 & 25, 2015 in Los Angeles, CA, 150 attendees gathered in the North American Mammal Diorama Room at our Summit Host, The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. For two days (breakfast to cocktails) we engaged with the distinguished internationally-renowned speakers listed below and with each other to better understand the mysteries and miracles of the urban soil beneath our feet. The most quoted comments from attendees were “MAGICAL” and “MIND BLOWN.”
