This week I went to the USDA website to access the web soil survey tools to examine soil health in Buncombe County. What I found was a ton of information including soil health/chemical properties, vegetative/forest productivity, land management/classifications, water management/hydrology, and so much more which lends much insight about the area, it's resources and components. I am a newbie at this (as you can probably all tell), so this website offered a lot for me to feast my eyes and brain on. I think that the availability of this data is incredible and a little overwhelming but I will keep at it!
