Local geology talk slated

DUMMERSTON- The Dummerston Conservation Commission is sponsoring a unique opportunity to spend the evening with Marjorie Gale, the Vermont State Geologist and director of the Vermont Geological Survey.
Gale will describe  the geology of Dummerston: how Dummerston came to be from the early rock and land formations, up through the glaciers and the development of our soils, to the landscape of today.  There will be plenty of time for questions and a chance to study geologic maps of the region.   
Dale  joined the Vermont Geological Survey  in 1996 and is co-author of the Bedrock Geologic Map of Vermont (2011).  She spent most of her career mapping bedrock, developing groundwater resource maps, working on GIS projects, and doing outreach. She now directs programs which focus on mapping, groundwater, and hazards.
The exploration will be Thursday, September 19, at 7 pm. Meet downstairs in Dummerston Church, at the corner of Middle and East-West roads. The event is free, and children are encouraged to attend.
