An Ice Age Odyssey
May 25, 2024
The summer temperatures may be heating up, but the Grand Traverse Conservation District and the Grand Traverse Area Rock and Mineral Club Pebble Pups are taking us back in time to colder days with their Family & Children Geology Hike Series. On June 1, from 10-12pm, the topic of the hike will be the Ice Age. You may not run across a wooly mammoth or a saber tooth tiger out in the woods, but you will get to explore terrain that was shaped by the glaciers of the Ice Age and learn from knowledgeable geological guides about the ecological and geological legacies left by the retreating ice. Meet at the Oleson Pavilion next to the Boardman River Nature Center at 1450 Cass Rd. in Traverse City. The event is free, but registration is required at natureiscalling.org/events.
