One of our most important natural resources is soil. Students and teachers interested in environmental issues often overlook this resource. Professional conservationists, however, recognize the importance of soil in natural resource management and the interrelationships between soil, water, and other resources. Soil provides a growth medium for all plant life on our planet, including food and energy resources. Soil also provides habitat, filters water, and is used in constructing buildings.

The Mock Envirothon test consists of questions from real Envirothon state competitions. The “Old Lyme Custom Soil Resource Report” is to be used during the mock Envirothon test.
