Resources
Welcome to Butterflies R Us Mobile Training, your premier destination for immersive learning experiences exploring the natural wonders of western Washington. Join us as we embark on an incredible field excursion to unravel the fascinating legacy of glaciation, focusing on the glacial mud and deadly landslides that have greatly influenced this region.
Unraveling the Mysteries of Glacial Mud
Glacial mud, also known as glacial flour, is a fine-grained sediment formed by the grinding, crushing, and pulverization of rock under the immense weight of glaciers. As these massive ice sheets advanced and retreated over thousands of years, they worked like giant sandpaper, pulverizing bedrock into incredibly fine grains.
The resulting glacial mud carries a unique composition of minerals, which gives it a distinctive milky appearance when suspended in water. It plays a critical role in various natural processes, including the fertilization of soils and the formation of unique ecosystems.
Our expert-led excursion takes you to some of the most picturesque locations, where you'll witness breathtaking landscapes shaped by glacial mud. Learn about the ecological significance of glacial mud and its essential role in supporting a rich diversity of plant and animal life in western Washington.
