Hydric soils are Jennifer Smith’s passion. This passion and her career as a soil scientist in both the private and public sectors have given her a unique outlook on wetlands, soils, and conservation. Through personal stories, Smith will share her perspective on what our wetland community needs to know about soils—every soil tells a story, and we, as wetland professionals, need to decipher it. She will also reflect on what she has learned about what conservation is, who can do it, and how these concepts have changed over her career.
