Save Soil Walkathon in Austin

  • Brushy Creek Lake Park 3300 Brushy Creek Road (map)

Join Central Texas Mycology at the global event Save Soil Walkathon. This is a global movement launched to bring awareness about soil degradation and advocate for policies to safeguard soil health across all nations. We will be giving away recycled mushroom blocks and showing you how to build soil with them.

About the Walk

This June, join thousands of people across North and Latin America, in over 60 cities, and walk to raise awareness for Save Soil. The next decade is our chance to overcome the soil crisis, and we can do it. Let us walk together to save soil.

  • 52% of the world's cultivatable soil is degraded

  • Over 2 billion people suffer from nutritional imbalances

  • A tablespoon of soil contains more microbes than there are humans on the planet.

Our future, our children’s future, and this planet’s future very much depend on soil health.
