Description

Trip designed to focus on the geologic history and topography of our region. This year, participants travel by coach bus to Lansford, PA to tour the No. 9 Mine and Museum, once a rich anthracite coal operation. After the tour, we will travel a short distance south to New Ringgold, PA where there is an opportunity to collect fossils that represent a vast ocean about 385 million years ago. Geared for families, the trip includes collecting fossils, minerals and rocks along with some nifty geologic sites. Great opportunity to fulfill Boy Scout requirements or homeschooler project. Transportation by bus only, provided. Pre-registration required. Open to those age 8 and older. Fee: $65 members of Buttonwood Nature Center, $70 general public. Bring bag lunch.
