As Texas Soil & Water Stewardship Week comes to a close, weβre reminded of an important truth: Soil is where it all begins. π± Healthy soil supports our native habitats, sustains agriculture, protects water resources, and strengthens the landscapes we depend on every day.

#TexasStewardshipWeek
Soil is a living system that keeps our ecosystems thriving. π± Through natural biological processes, it cycles essential nutrients that plants need to grow while storing carbon that supports long-term soil health and productivity.
#TexasStewardshipWeek
Healthy soil plays a critical role in protecting our water resources. π§Soil absorbs rainfall and irrigation, reducing runoff and erosion while helping filter pollutants before they reach streams, rivers, and lakes.
#TexasStewardshipWeek
Soil does more than sit beneath our feet; it powers Texas agriculture! π± By anchoring roots and supplying nutrients, healthy soil helps produce the food and fiber that sustain everything we grow and help feed and clothe millions across the country.
