 Heathcote Soil Pits |
The following soil pits were selected as example profiles for major soil types in the Mount Camel area and were described in 1995. There is only limited information available on soil types in the region and only broad soil/landform survey exists. Therefore, these pits should be seen as a guide only to some of the soils. It is not possible to give an estimate as to how representative these sites are of major soil types in the area. Care has been exercised in site selection to take into account local variations in geology and landform. |
This work was done as part of a National Landcare Program (NLP) project. We wish to thank Carl Brown (Mount Camel Landcare Group) for organising site selection and pit excavation. Kathy Todd (former Department of Conservation and Natural Resources) should also be thanked for her efforts in initiating the work. A soil pit field day was held for the Landcare Group in March 1996.
