Geology Workshop

Saturdays, March 15 & 29  

This two-part winter workshop explores some of the many facets of Wisconsin geology, with special emphasis on our local Lake Michigan landscape. Explaining key concepts of glacial history and going back into our ancient past of the Silurian Sea, this workshop will help participants understand some of the fascinating changes that our region has undergone. We’ll view rock, fossil, and mineral specimens and spend time on the lakefront viewing our resident rocks – some of which travelled hundreds of miles to be here!  

You’ll learn some of the important igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks found in southeastern Wisconsin and enjoy the wintery trails of Schlitz Audubon. This is an advanced training opportunity for Master Naturalists and geology aficionados alike. 

Your instructor is geology enthusiast Director of Learning Tom Finley. Please note the workshop occurs on two non-concurrent Saturdays. 

This program will take place both indoors and outdoors.  

Members: $50 | Non-members: $65
