Soil carbon is probably one of the biggest current buzz words. Although it seems like everybody is talking about soil carbon, we still have a lot to learn about the movements of soil carbon and especially about the dynamics of soil carbon specific to the Peace.

One the people working hard to unearth the soil carbon treasure map of our regions is Kimberley Cornish with the Food, Water, Wellness Foundation. Kim and her team are using a process of using a combination of predictive soil mapping with existing soil information with on the ground 1m deep soil core sampling. A cool but labour intensive process which allows for soil carbon mapping across larger areas at an overall more affordable cost. A pending project hopes to map soil carbon across large areas in the Peace Region to help colour in the local soil carbon treasure map.
