Web Soil Survey

Web Soil Survey (WSS) provides soil data and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world.

NRCS has soil maps and data available online for more than 95 percent of the nation’s counties and anticipates having 100 percent in the near future. The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department. (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities.)

I am a native of Weakley County in Northwest Tennessee. I attended the University of Tennessee at Martin where I received my Bachelor's degree in Natural Resources Management with a concentration in Wildlife Biology in 2012. Before attending college, I served 7 years in the United States Navy having duty stations in Sasebo, Japan and Little Creek, Virginia. I have a passion for working with wildlife habitat management, especially for Northern Bobwhite quail.

SCD Board

During the 1930’s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Soil Conservation Service as part of the New Deal Program that helped landowners become proactive in taking care of their land. To incorporate local involvement, Soil Conservation Districts were set up to be a liaison between the federal government and local farmers and landowners. A district is defined by each county's boundaries. Each district is governed by a board with both elected and appointed supervisors. The board members meet once a month to discuss current contracts for technical assistance and grant requests, as well as other topics that need board approval.
