Official State Soil: Kalkaska
December 20th

Kalkaska soils support vast forests of quaking aspen, paper birch, and white spruce. They are home to moose, pileated woodpeckers, mushrooms, and earthworms.

Kalkaska soils are primarily used to grow hardwood timber, but sometimes for crops such as potatoes and strawberries. They are also good for building and construction projects.
