Education Building at LLELA

Come ready get your hands dirty! Join Dixie in a hands-on lab of  learning how to test your own soil for soil type, to test for nutrients and other chemical properties, to read a soil triangle, and to get to know more about caring for the soil; essential to life itself!

Dixie Westbrook is an AP Environmental Science teacher at Flower Mound High School. She has spent the past eleven years building a robust environmental program that has become a much sought after, student favorite course. Soil Properties Lab is a memorable part of the course in its rigor and application to real world scenarios as well as hands-on instruction. Dixie is a 2025 class member of the Blackland Prairie Chapter of Texas Master Naturalist and a member of the Friends of LLELA board.

FREE with $5 per car entrance to LLELA.
All supplies and soil will be provided for the lab. Participants are encouraged to bring a jar full of their own soil to take back home to set up testing later.
