Join the Friends of LLELA Lecture Series and come ready to get your hands dirty for this facinating class on soil!

Dixie Westbrook is an AP Environmental Science teacher at Flower Mound High School. She has spent the past eleven years building a robust environmental program that has become a much sought after, student favorite course. Soil Properties Lab is a memorable part of the course in its rigor and application to real world scenarios as well as hands-on instruction. Dixie is a 2025 class member of the Blackland Prairie Chapter of Texas Master Naturalist and a member of the Friends of LLELA board.

Join Dixie in a hands-on lab of  learning how to test your own soil for soil type, to test for nutrients and other chemical properties, to read a soil triangle, and to get to know more about caring for the soil; essential to life itself!

All supplies and soil will be provided for the lab. Participants are encouraged to bring a jar full of their own soil to take back home to set up testing later.

FREE with paid entrance to LLELA, registration is required.
