Geology Walk on Hardwick Trails

When: Saturday, October 4th at 9:00 a.m.

Where: Meet at the Hardwick Trails trailhead kiosk behind Hazen Union School

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 of 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 and Hardwick Conservation Committee chair Lucy Zendzian while we explore the geology and soils of Hardwick Trails.

Everyone is welcome at this free event sponsored by the Hardwick Trails Committee and the Conservation Commission. The Hardwick Trails Kiosk is located behind the parking lot of Hazen Union School.

Participants should be prepared for a two mile walk. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring your walking stick/poles too. In case of rain, the event will occur Sunday, Oct 5 at 9:00 a.m.. Questions? Email mitchell.ds@live.com
