September 13th – Anaerobics: Soils of Mountain Lake: Stephen Andrews, soil scientist and Lecturer, UC Berkeley

Head to Mountain Lake to learn about the fascinating properties of wetland soils. These soils provide important habitat to many populations of plants and animals specifically adapted to the anaerobic conditions found in wetlands. Stephen Andrews of UC Berkeley will offer context to help us better understand our very own Mountain Lake wetland areas.

Soil scientist and natural resources educator Stephen Andrews, known throughout the Bay Area as the “Dirt Dude,” has been leading classes of Master Gardeners, Bay Friendly landscape professionals, and UC Berkeley students with his mantras of “compost, compost, compost” and “mulch, mulch, mulch,” for nearly two decades.
