Soil Health Improvement Project

This report summarizes the activities of the Ocean County Soil Conservation District’s Soil Health Improvement Project (SHiP) conducted at Jake’s Branch County Park. The project consisted of 1)the identification of optimal physical, chemical, and biological properties of Ocean County’s sandy soils to improve infiltration and reduce runoff and nutrient loss, and 2) the development of simple, low coast and practical soil restoration techniques that are transferable to homeowners. This was accomplished through a blend of research and outreach and education.
