SUMMARY:Event Full: Geology of the Boothbay Region
DESCRIPTION:***This event is at capacity and we are starting a waiting list. Please contact Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org to be added to the waiting list*** \nDiscover the geology of the Boothbay Region with Professor of Geology Dave West during an easy walk around the universal access trails of BRLT’s Oak Point Farm. Join us for a general overview of the nearly 500 million-year geologic history preserved in the bedrock of the midcoast region of Maine. Although the current coast of Maine is relatively tame in terms of dramatic geologic activity\, this has not always been the case. Professor West will provide insight into the dramatic history preserved in the geologic features of the midcoast region\, including violent volcanic eruptions\, massive earthquakes\, and burial beneath over a mile of glacial ice. The spatial distribution of different rock types across the region\, and how they relate to the present-day landscape\, will also be discussed. \nDave West is a Professor of Geology at Middlebury College in Vermont who specializes in unraveling the bedrock geologic history of the northern Appalachians\, with a particular interest in coastal Maine geology. A North Carolina native\, Dave obtained his Masters and Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from the University of Maine and has been conducting geological research in Maine for over 30 years. Prior to arriving at Middlebury\, Dave taught at Bowdoin College\, Lafayette College in Pennsylvania\, and Earlham College in Indiana.

SUMMARY:Story Trail Walk: A Worm Called Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Read a family-friendly book while walking through the woods. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail as they tell a tale that connects you to your natural surroundings. The free 1-mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed at your own pace and on your own time. The current story trail features the read-aloud book “A Worm Called Wallace”\, written by Jamie Rose with illustrations by Stephanie Stilwell. \nFrom the book: Under the soil\, under the surface\, there lived a lowly worm called Wallace. One day he cried: “My world is dark and my life is no good\, I’ve never seen the sun and all I eat is mud!” Wallace cried and Wallace sighed until from the dark a wise voice replied… That voice would change Wallace’s perspective forever! \nThe story trail at Oak Point Farm is open year-round during daylight hours\, with a new book posted every four to five weeks. Current book titles and dates will be updated on our website.
