We all depend on soil for survival!
Georgia 4-H Land Judging is preparing youth to protect and improve land through leadership training and a state competition. This program gives youth an appreciation for soil and the opportunity to learn soil structure, power of erosion, classification and proper land treatment.
Georgia 4-H Land Judging teaches youth how to evaluate soils and understand best land uses in a fun, hand-on environment. Land Judging is all about doing! Youth determine soil properties by getting their hands dirty. Students from cities, town and rural areas can enjoy and excel in Land Judging. A farm background might be helpful, but it certainly isn’t necessary.
