Geology Walk, May's Cafe, and Community Collage at Herrontown Woods Sunday, May 3

Though the high ground in northern Princeton known as the Princeton ridge may not live up to the "mountain" in Mountain Lakes and Mount Lucas Road, that igneous upwelling 200 million years ago makes for some fascinating geology underpinning the town. 

On Sunday morning, May 3, at 11am, Laurel Goodell and grad students Theo Green and Josh Isaacs of Princeton University’s Department of Geosciences will lead a geology walk at Herrontown Woods. They'll explain the origins of the many diabase boulders, the presence of magnetic rocks, and other special features. We may even hear about the weather and soil station installed years back at the Barden. In honor of Earthday, the walk will be free.

Preceding the walk, starting at 9:00am, will be the monthly May's Cafe with coffee, tea, and baked treats at the Botanical Art Garden ("Barden") in Herrontown Woods at 600 Snowden Lane. 

Adding to the creativity and fun at the cafe, artist and FOHW board member Hope VanClef will host a workshop, in which participants can decorate tiles that will become part of a Community Collage. Follow the link to sign up.
