Understanding our soils and landscapes can help us learn how to live on the land without abusing it.  As we have developed more land in the Puget Sound region, we have become more aware of the effects of development on the environment.   Using our knowledge of local soils can help us become better caretakers of the land and water, so that we can maintain them for future generations.
