Geology of the Telemark Forest Preserve

August 11, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Event Details

Spend the morning learning about glacial kames and kettles, and other depositional landforms of the Telemark Forest Preserve with Northland College Professor of Geoscience Tom Fitz. We’ll examine the soils that have developed following the retreat of the glaciers, and we’ll see how the landscape’s geologic past influences the ecosystems of today. Be prepared to hike a few miles including some hills. Depending on recent weather, there may be some muddy low spots and mosquitoes/flies.
