CULTURAL CHARTER FOR SOIL & SUBSTRATES

Soil and substrate, along with air and water, are vital to flourishing biodiversity and sustaining all life. This Cultural Charter for Soils and Substrates encourages change in our perception of soils, bringing the realities of the living world to human understanding and care. The Charter invites groups and individuals to:

  1. Champion and cherish soils as integral to culture, and promote healthy soil as a growing medium and the basis for nature recovery. 
  2. Value the unique potential of every different soil, subsoil and novel substrate.
  3. Prevent the waste of topsoil on all landscapes and optimise biodiversity, especially in the design and development of public projects so as to harness every opportunity.
  4. Enable people to experience the value and beauty of soil, reconnecting us with each other, land and nature.
  5. Embed a community ethic based on circular economies which minimise carbon miles and maximise carbon capture.
  6. Demonstrate the appropriate and local use of subsoils, biochar and recycled soils to strengthen the culture, ecology and topography of place. 
  7. Encourage strategic and resourceful approaches to the creative management of soils to create mosaics of habitats. Most species-rich environments thrive on nutrient-poor soils.
  8. Be bold in our responses as we work together to restore and transform landscapes for the well-being of future generations and all life, in and on Earth. 

The Charter was conceived by Richard Scott and Polly Moseley after a special conference by the Ecological Restoration and Habitat Creation Special Interest Group (ERHC SIG / CIEEM). It evolved through dialogue between advocates for soil and ecology within the UK and internationally, including: British Society of Soil Science (BSS), Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Charted Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM), Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA), Cornell University, DEFRA and UK Government statutory nature agencies, Eden Project, European Society for Ecological Research, Grass Roof Company, Liverpool University, National Wildflower Centre at Eden Project, Northumbria University, UNESCO Man and Biosphere Forum and Urban Ecology Forum. The Charter was also developed as an artwork with the support of Studio Fabre Hardy.
