Celebrate the 2015 International Year of Soils (IYS) with director/writer/producer, Deborah Koons Garcia for a special showing of her 103 minute documentary. Although few think of dirt as scarce, in the United States topsoil is degrading in quality and quantity and cropland is eroding at least 10 times faster than the time it takes to replace it. Drawing from ancient knowledge and cutting edge science, Symphony of the Soil is an artistic exploration of the miraculous substance soil and its elaborate relationship with the atmosphere, water, plants, animals, and humans. Filmed on four continents, this film features scientists, farmers, and ranchers.
Ms. Koons Garcia will join us for discussion and questions. Deborah Koons Garcia has called Northern California home for over thirty years and is a passionate filmmaker about environmental issues. She earned a master's in film from the San Francisco Art Institute.
This special film showing is sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service Collaborative Forest Restoration Program grant.

Tickets may be purchased at the NMMNH&S's Admissions desk the night of the event, depending on availability. Door's open at 6:15 pm.
