What lies beneath your feet? Join us on a guided tour of the Waldlabor in the H\u00f6nggerberg forest and discover the hidden world beneath the forest floor. Soil is much more than dirt. It supports forests and plants, stores water, provides nutrients, captures carbon and is home to countless organisms. In short, healthy soils are essential for life on Earth.<\/p>\n

On this interactive tour, discover how soils in Switzerland have formed, and why they are so important for nature, agriculture and the climate. Using a variety of scientific methods, you will examine the soil yourself and experience how researchers uncover its hidden properties.<\/p>\n

After the tour, you might find yourself looking at your garden soil differently and starting to uncover its properties \u2013 just like a soil scientist.<\/p>\n
