Landscapes & Landforms Standalone Field Trip

Our sanctuary is a dynamic landscape shaped by the powerful forces of past glaciation. Students will explore glacier-formed landforms firsthand and investigate how massive ice sheets once sculpted the terrain. Through observations and data collection, participants will study the ongoing effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition within our local ecosystems.
