It sounds crazy, but in the COVID-19 world we need to find ways to help students explore and understand rangelands while we are online.

Getting students out on the range VIRTUALLY
Range Science Education Council 
Don’t forget that one way to make sure students know plants is to to ask them to make a collection rather than taking a test.
I had an online riparian class with a field component. I met a colleague in the field with a camera man and we did a hike, an interpretive discussion and riparian health bullseye ranking on video. The students watched the video then went out to a local field site and did the same thing. They turned in a series of pictures with captions and the bullseye for their site. I thought two hours of video would be too long but the students loved it.
A good resource for soils that includes some virtual field trips as well as other great online soil resources is the For the Love of Soil website.
Yes – this is a great site about soil “https://www.fortheloveofsoil.org/” I love their tag line “To make soil a household name” Lots of good resources in the “Educate” tab including this site on Soil orders from the University of Idaho: https://www.uidaho.edu/cals/soil-orders
