Boardwalk at The "Deep Sink".
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Boardwalk at The "Deep Sink". The Hylebos Wetlands contain peat soils up to 30 feet thick. The peat soils begun to form some 10,000 to 15,000 years ago in a depression left after the last glaciation. The depression held a lake, which gradually filled in with sediment and plant material until it finally became dry enough to support forest growth. Since peat forms in relatively low oxygen conditions the plant materials are only partly decomposed - plant fragments can be seen from plants which died thousands of years ago. Very few examples of this type of wetland remain in the Puget Sound Region, partly because the peat was mined years ago to use as a soil amendment. |
