The Queensland branch of Soil Science Australia holds a regular program events and activities which include meetings in regional centres. The annual lecture is named after Ron McDonald, a soil pedologist and active member of the Queensland branch.

The branch provides support to students to attend the National Soils Conference, the World Congress of Soil Science and the National Soil Judging Competition.

Art in Soil is an initiative of the Queensland Branch. ‘Let’s Get Dirty’ is followed a number of artists’ journeys over a six month period creating a piece of art inspired by soil. Visit the Let’s Get Dirty website to find out more about art in soil.
