Please join us in speaking up for one of our most critical natural resources in New York – our soils. From the fertile Finger Lakes to the Black Dirt Region, New York boasts a spectrum of unique, invaluable soils that are the foundation of our food and farm economy and help keep our environment clean, healthy, and resilient. Just like we work to protect and improve our waterways and open spaces, we must protect and steward our irreplaceable soils now and for future generations. 

Currently in Albany, state lawmakers are considering a bill which, if passed, would enhance soil health on farms throughout New York State. Healthy soils are essential to the future of farming and benefit us all by sustaining food production over time, improving water quality, and increasing carbon storage—critical to helping New York reach its climate change mitigation and adaptation goals.  

TAKE ACTION: Please write your state representatives and let them know you support passing soil health legislation in New York state this year. Simply enter your information below, and with just one click, send a customizable letter directly to your state representatives in support of passing a soil health bill before June 10th!
