I'm sharing an event to take place on December 4 & 5 --
Event Name: CIEDM Actions on Soil Biodiversity @ Arcadia Ecohome
Event Description: As a CIEDM conservation scientist and a member of the FAO Global Soil Partnership’s International Network on Soil Biodiversity (NETSOB) and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Health Scholar, Dr. Edward Huang will lead a 2-day local grassroots event to support and take part in the global celebrations of both the 2025 Wildlife Conservation Day and World Soil Day, respectively, on December 4 and 5. The CIEDM actions include event registrations with both wildlifeday.org and FAO, an engagement of leave-the-leaves cleanup of the Arcadia Ecohome's micro-forest which is a Certified Wildlife Habitat and a Certified Pollinator Habitat, a gardening work to add up the forest floor’s sponge layer with organic matters so as to enrich the soil and its ecoservice capacities including enhancement as water, heat and carbon sinks, a bioblitz walk in the forest to observe and record our discoveries of critters, insects, worms, fungus & other creatures, and a social media campaign to raise public awareness of the WCD and WSD significances and messages.
