Protect and Restore Connecticut’s Soil Health
Healthy Soils are pivotal in meeting the State’s water quality and quantity goals, and the goals for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Council is proposing legislation that could move Connecticut forward in protecting our soil health, with an update to the Soil Conservation statute.

Soil Conservation Title update
We believe that it is important for Connecticut to recognize the importance of protecting and restoring soil health in our state by including it in the CT General Statutes. We are looking to move forward with only the one piece of legislation this year, the update of the Soil Conservation statute. Further actions on soil health will be delayed until we have the findings of the GC3 subcommittee and the Council’s soil health committee over the coming year.
