You've seen these blue and yellow signs across the state, so come on past the one near the BIG Smokey Bear and learn what it's all about.  Learn how your local Soil and Water Conservation District affects your life every day.

Go down the hill behind Heritage Circle, past the new Tobacco Pavilion, and up the hill past Smokey Bear and the Forestry Equipment.  The N.C. Soil and Water Conservation exhibit is co-located with the NC Forestry Service in the NEW BUILDING near the Birdman show.

Visit the Tunnel of Soil again this year.  Learn what’s beneath your feet and about the living soil!

Visit the ‘Welcome to the World below your Feet’ exhibit and learn about vegetables and other food stuff that grow underground including the North Carolina crop that is 5th in abundance in the nation!

The conservation districts’ exhibits are open daily during the fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except October 17, when the exhibit will open at noon.
