During the day we will explore carefully selected parts of the geological and pedological trail of the Croix-Scaille (summary in French<\/a>) and combine it with interactive examinations of soil profiles as well as participatory soil augering. This select mix of activities offers insights in some pedological peculiarities of the Ardennes and how field observations can contribute to understanding the relationship between rocks, soils and landscape.\u00a0 You will thus have the chance to discover, observe, scrutinize (by auger and on pits) some typical soils of the region, and discuss about their genesis, characteristics and connection with the landscape. In this process, we will be particularly attentive to share information adapted to each participant, whatever their area of expertise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both morning spots are reached by bus. The three afternoon spots (points 4, 7\/8 & 13 of the geopedological trail) are located along a 2 km route (4 km round trip) that we’ll do on foot, through very accessible roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fee is 30 \u20ac for members (30 \u20ac + membership for people who are not yet members). This fee includes access to the profiles, excursion guide, transportation, and 1 local drink during the lunch. The number of participants is restricted to 35 for practical reasons, registration will be handled on a “first-come first-served” basis. Registration is open till October 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.soilbelgium.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/screenshot-website-sentier-1024x718.png\")
