Official State Soil: Myakka
December 9th

These wet, sandy soils support forests of longleaf pine, slash pine, and scrub oak, with undergrowth of saw palmetto and huckleberry. Some Myakka soils are found in wetlands. Bobcats, rattlesnakes, pileated woodpeckers, and oak toads make their homes in Myakka-soil forests.
