How does a kid get excited about soil science? Will Elliott used to work summers on his uncle's farm, growing peaches, prunes, and rice. He decided that if he knew how the soil worked, he could grow anything he wanted. So, he pursued a degree in soil sciences. As the general manager of Collier Environmental Services, he has been working to restore wetlands in Eastern Collier County. The company has restored more than 14,000 acres to date. Elliott invites potential conservationists to reach out and learn more.
