Welcome!
Test Your Dirt is a citizen science project that aims to engage the Hamilton community in research to identify patterns of lead contamination in urban gardens. We hope to use data collected by members of the community to better understand which areas of Hamilton might be affected by heavy metal soil contamination. This will promote remediation efforts, and promote safe and sustainable urban gardening in the city.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
