Soils
Start from the ground up! Read about our past soils projects and soils restoration initatives in the SA Arid Lands region.
SAAL was involved in a soil extension project that delivered soils science across the State to help land managers understand and improve their soil health. It was hoped that improvements in soil health would result in improved productivity, profitability and environmental outcomes.
Soil extension officers formed the core of a community-of-practice network, and worked collaboratively with land managers, industry and agriculture groups, soil specialists and researchers to deliver extension activities, including education resources, demonstration sites and case studies.

Soil Board plans
Prior to the community-based Landscape Board, and the former SA Arid Lands NRM Board, each of the districts in the SA Arid Lands region had a community-based Soil Conservation Board. The SAAL Landscape Board recognises that many in the region still utilise the information in the Soil Board Plans and the information continues to inform planning processes around the SA Arid Lands Regional Plan.
