Official State Soil: Pamunkey
June 16th

Pamunkey soils support forest ecosystems of oaks, maples, and pines. These forests are habitats for mammals, reptiles, insects, fungi, and bacteria. Clean water seeps from these soils into waterways that flow into the Chesapeake Bay. Most Pamunkey soils grow corn, soybeans, and wheat. More recently, they have been used to build homes.
