Students from six North Otago schools are undertaking a number of activities to assess soil health in their schools. A box of underwear from Thunderpants was donated to the soil project. The 'Soil Your Undies' project is being led by Otago's regional Enviroschools co-ordinator Robyn Zink. "One aim is to get children excited about soil, the other is to get them to go home and talk about this project with their parents and families to raise awareness about soil and soil health," she says. Otago's Participatory Science Platform (PSP) funded the 'Soil Your Undies' project to the tune of nearly $20,000.
