Information on New Hampshire Soils

Reading and assessing the land is the first step in solving natural resource problems and sustaining our limited resources.  In particular, soils provide the foundation for conservation work, and understanding the nature and properties of soils is critical to managing and conserving other natural resources.

The New Hampshire Soils Program is a diverse and customer-sensitive program that strives to set a national example while serving the soil information needs of New Hampshire communities.
