The OPAL National Soil Centre was one of five national centres of expertise under the OPAL project, which ran from 2007 to 2012. The centre was based in the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London.
OPAL Soil and Earthworm Survey
The centre coordinates the OPAL Soil and Earthworm Survey, which is open to everyone. The survey aims to build a picture of soil quality and earthworm populations all over England. Find out more about how to take part or view the results so far.
