The soil zones of Saskatchewan: Creating art to visualize the concept.

Ken is a Professor Emeritus of Forest Soils from the Department of Soil Science at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. His research career investigated forestry impacts on soil properties and tree growth as well as quantifying carbon sequestration in forest shelterbelts in the prairies. However, it wasn't until he started incorporating art into his soil field courses in 2004 at the historic Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus, that he began his artistic adventure of creativity and play using paints, soil and charcoal. His artistic journey created a new way for him to connect and understand boreal forest ecosystems.
