Official State Soil: Sunnyside April 25th This is a photo of the layers that make up a Sunnyside soil profile. Sunnyside: Old, Forest Soils. Layer 1: Soils surface rich in decaying plant matter. Layer 2: Seeping rain washes the reddish iron and clay out of this layer, leaving it pale. Layer 3: Layer rich in reddish iron and clay. Minerals washed down from above accumulate here. Layer 4: Layer of "parent" material that looks much like the whole soil profile did thousands of years ago when it began to form.
