Untermyer Gardens Geology Tour

SATURDAY, October 19 at 1:00 PM

Don't miss this unique opportunity to go beyond the architecture and plantings, and experience the spectacular geological features throughout Untermyer Gardens. Outcrops of highly metamorphosed bedrock, breathtaking views of the Palisades, and glacial erratics tell the tale of over a billion years of landscape evolution. Embark on a journey through time on this hike with geologist Kim Fendrich and learn about the incredible transformation of this land that was once situated at the equator submerged under the sea, later buried under a sheet of ice 2,000 feet thick.

Kim Fendrich has a passion for connecting people with the land and its complex geologic history with the goal of inspiring environmental stewardship. Over the last 10 years, her classroom space has evolved from the collegiate setting, to the American Museum of Natural History, and finally to the great outdoors. Kim is the Educator and Program Coordinator at Rockefeller State Park Preserve with a M.S. in geosciences from the University of Arizona.

We would like to thank the Rockefeller State Parks Preserve for collaborating with us on this event! Rockefeller State Parks Preserve in Pleasantville also hosts tours and classes through Eventbrite: You can see them here.
