HARDWICK – Saturday, Oct. 4 at 9 a.m., a geology walk will take place beginning at the Hardwick Trails trailhead kiosk behind Hazen Union School. Dave Mitchell and Hardwick Conservation Committee Chair Lucy Zendzian will lead the walk to explore the geology and soils of Hardwick Trails. The ice sheet that once covered all of New England may have melted away thousands of years ago, but there are still plenty of features and many clues that reveal the subsurface and glacial history of Hardwick. This is a free event sponsored by the Hardwick Trails Committee and the Conservation Commission. Participants should be prepared for a two-mile walk. Wear sturdy shoes and bring walking stick-poles. In case of rain, the event will occur Sunday, Oct. 5, at 9 a.m. For more information, email [email protected]
