SUMMARY:Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - CU Saturday: Geology In Down Jersey / 3-15-25
DESCRIPTION:Join CU Maurice River for a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating landscape of the Maurice River Bluffs with Professor Mark Demitroff.  Professor Demitroff  discussed the same topic at a 2023 membership meeting\;  this event takes that conversation into the field.\n\n\n\nDuring the scenic walk\, participants will learn about the geological history that shaped the distinctive features of the bluffs\, including how the Ice Age influenced the area's landscape.\n\n \n\nOnce a hub for sand mining and farming\, the area now hosts some of the largest wild rice marshes in the state plus productive freshwater ponds that provide homes for dragonflies and unique plant communities. These ecological features\, along with remnants of the site's historical past\, are some of the key outstandingly remarkable values that were a factor in the designation of the Wild and Scenic Maurice River.\n\n\n\nProfessor Demitroff will share insights into how these forces have shaped the region over time\, highlighting the area's rich geological and ecological heritage. Whether you're a geology enthusiast or just curious about the natural world\, this walk offers a chance to connect with the landscape in a new and informative way. \n\n\n\nDress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes or boots. Bringing a snack and water is suggested
