The Popo Agie Conservation District uses an inflatable soil tunnel as an interactive educational tool to help children and adults visualize the underground ecosystem. It provides a “worm’s-eye view” of soil, teaching participants about soil layers, biology, and its importance for food production, water purification, and health. The walk through exhibit displays the underground ecosystem, including beneficial bugs and bacteria. It educates on essential practices such as keeping soil covered, reducing disturbance, and diversifying plants. It serves as a visual aid to demonstrate how soils form and their benefits to people and the environment. The mobile tunnel allows for engaging education at various community events.
