The Massachusetts Healthy Soils Action Plan was developed under the direction of the Commission for Conservation of Soil, Water & Related Resources with crucial input from a steering committee with expertise in soils across five land use categories: farms, forests, wetlands, lawns and other developed open spaces, and impervious areas (buildings, roads, and parking lots). The committee met more than a dozen times and fifteen public workshops were conducted which included residents at various levels of government, nonprofits, communities, volunteers, farmers, foresters and landowners. Massachusetts is the first state to complete a healthy soils plan for all of its land use types. [READ MORE & VIEW PLAN]
