POSTPONED: Geology Walk on the Hardwick Trails

Posted on By Hardwick Trails
Educational, Events

Curious about what’s under our feet?

Did you know that Hardwick used to be the bottom of a glacial lake or that the bedrock of the Hardwick area was formed in a shallow, warm sea?

The ice sheet that once covered all New England may have melted away thousands of years ago, but there are still plenty of features and many clues that reveal the subsurface and glacial history of Hardwick.

Come join Dave Mitchell, retired science teacher and amateur geologist, while we explore Hardwick Trails.

The Hardwick Trails Committee sponsors this free event and welcomes everyone who’s ever wondered about our far distant past. The walk begins at the Kiosk behind Hazen Union School parking lot. Questions?

This Nature Hunt for Kids is geared for children 5-12, with their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or friends! We’ll look for a variety of nature objects, including plants, animals, rocks, trees, colors found in the woods world and more. After collecting, we’ll share our observations and a snack. (Alicia will bring all the supplies needed.) Children should wear closed-toe shoes.
