FOREWARD
The Society of Soil Scientists of Southern New England is pleased to present a listing of its members for 2007 who meet specific qualification standards in the field of soil science. We believe that this Registry of Soil Scientists will help in answering private and public demands for professional soil science assistance in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Although persons listed in this Registry meet specific requirements, the Society is not responsible for quality or costs involved in work performance. This brochure is available from the Society of Soil Scientists of Southern New England, P.O. Box 258, Storrs, CT 06268.
Mark Stolt, President
