The combined AZ Master Naturalist and Master Watershed Steward candidates had a full afternoon on 1 December, covering soils science, then changing pace to discuss the handling of diverse points of view among groups of individuals.

Master Watershed Steward Program Manager Robert Emanuel leads an exercise where participants change their physical location based upon their response to hypothetical questions.

Wade points out features in soil samples collected around Flagstaff.

Robert illustrates how to measure soil characteristics in samples.

AZMN/MWS candidates conduct 'hands-on' and 'hands-in' soil tests. Samples were obtained from the UA soils library.
