Soil and Stones: Sustaining our Future by Influencing Change in the UK and Beyond

Summary

Soil is hugely important but also neglected and degraded, while stones are too often considered as more of a waste than a valuable resource or material.

Urgent action is needed to ensure the protection of these natural resources, and this means we must improve understanding and practices across sectors including construction, forestry, engineering, and agricultural management.

With this urgency in mind, SocEnv formed a SocEnv task group made up of Chartered Environmentalists. During the last year, they have been drawing together their collective expertise to produce a report aimed at highlighting good practice for professionals working with soil and stones.
