Field Trip to the Old Mine Park area, Trumbull
|
The GSC is still planning to hold a field trip that examines the bedrock and mineralogy of the Old Mine Park, Trumbull area, which was delayed due to a number of unexpected logistical challenges. In the meantime, the field guide has been upgraded and revised (we kept finding more cool things to include!) and is complete except for final edits to the map, which we hope to finalize in June. When that is done we still need to discuss the trip with Trumbull parks, and wait for vegetation to thin (or much will be difficult to see). As such, we are planning for a Saturday, likely in October. The completed map and guide book will benefit both the membership in attendance and folks managing the park.
Joint Field Trip with the Environmental Professionals of Connecticut (EPOC).
The board is working with EPOC on running portions of a previous field trip that examines the glacial Geology of the lower central valley in Connecticut. Specific dates and associated costs are being determined, although we anticipate this trip will also be offered in the fall of 2019.

Bill Burton (USGS) will be our 2019 keynote speaker. Look for a “save the date” email with more details this summer.
