Deep History: Geologic Perspectives at Highland

In central Virginia, the underlying bedrock is typically concealed beneath the region’s verdant green hills, but at Highland and in the Blue Ridge foothills the bedrock records a long and exciting history that goes back more than a billion years. Join William & Mary Geology Professor Chuck Bailey for an exploration of Deep Time and the important geological connections to the landscape and human history of Virginia.

The talk will be from 10:00 to 11:00 in the Highland Barn, with an optional hike from 11:00 to 12:30. Light refreshments provided.
