This soil profile was submitted by the students at Moniteau High School, West Sunbury, PA, USA.

Janet Powell, the teacher for this ecology had this to say about the soil studies her students completed. "My Ecology classes have completed the Soil studies once again this year ... Of all the activities we complete in class, I believe the students enjoy the soil studies the very most. I plan on continuing and expanding our soil studies next year."
