Magnificent Mud
A Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation Program
Meet the Mud Muckers! Participants discovered the properties of mud on-site, by digging into the soil of a wetland near Neville Place and collecting soil specimans. About a foot beneath the wet surface in one area there was a band of frozen silt. In the bottom photo there are models of some animals that spend at least part of their lives in mud: frog, salamander, snake, and turtles.
