Join Davidson College Environmental Studies professor, Dr. Brad Johnson, for an informative outing to review the geology and stream ecology of our area. Participants will learn why streams in the Piedmont exhibit similar shape with steep walls and entrenched channels. Why do streams exhibit this morphology and what did they look like before Euroamerican settlers arrived? On this walk we’ll learn about the formation of Piedmont streams, informed by active research being done at Davidson College, and will also discuss the geology of “whale rock” and other aspects of the site. Age 11-18 with an adult. Note: the hike will involve dirt trails with some steep slopes and potentially slippery surfaces. Please register HERE. Directions will be sent to all who register, three days prior to the event date.
