“Soil-to-Soil” is an official event of the Indiana Bicentennial. It is designed to help raise awareness regarding issues confronting our environmental future, and educate people about the importance of being good stewards of our planet. Life begins with the soil…it provides the link between food, water, clothing, shelter, climate, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Through recycling, composting and responsible use of resources, we give it back. It’s the environmental cycle of life.
Founded in 1991, Hoosier ReLeaf is a not-for-profit education and action organization aimed at improving our environment through more and better trees. Hoosier ReLeaf encourages citizens across the state of Indiana to preserve the environment and to reforest local communities through its sponsorship and coordination of tree-planting projects and environmental education programs. It is a volunteer organization supported by limited funding from state and national grants, and donor contributions.
