Wetland Word of the Week 9
This week's wetland word is...
soggy meaning wet and soft. It comes from an old English dialect word, 'sog' meaning swamp or an obsolete verb meaning to become soaked. Either way, when it rains here at Caerlaverock, wellies are definitely needed to avoid getting soggy socks!
As a wetland, we know all about sogginess and we are working quite hard to make Caerlaverock as soggy as possible through the Wilder, Wetter Caerlaverock Project (this project is supported by the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, managed by NatureScot). Keep your eyes on the blog for the Wilder, Wetter Caerlaverock Dairies where you can get all the most recent updates on the work we are doing.
