Illini Soil Judgers

Illini Soil Judgers We are the ILLINI Soil Judgers! We are officially the "University of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Society", but we go by ILLINI Soil Judgers for short!

We are a chapter of the National Soil and Water conservation Society. We are mostly made up of NRES, CPSC, HORT and TSM majors, but we welcome all that are interested in soils! Some of our fun activities involve soil crayon making, t-shirt tye dying with soils and soil judging competitions.

As a soil lover myself, we often find this blog highly focused on all things soils when in reality we are the soil and WATER conservation club. Well I think it is time to embrace the water side of our little organization especially because water has been such a hot topic in the news lately, particularly the news of Flint Michigan’s Water Crisis.
