Soil composition can greatly affect its erosion rates. Toronto Zoo giraffes have been slipping on the wet soil as a result of erosion. In order to fix this issue, the Zoo required specifically designed soil mix that would serve as the foundation for slip-free land. In the spring of 2014, Earthco Soil Mixtures was pleased to offer the Zoo a special blend called Waterfront Toronto Triple Mix with Geo-Fibers. This type of soil guarantees erosion control by stabilizing steep slopes, which gives the giraffes the freedom to roam around safely.
