Fossil program at Montour Preserve draws more than 100 people despite soggy weather conditions5/18/2024 On Saturday, May 18, 2024, Central PA Rock and Mineral Club President Andrew Rockhound and his wife, Cori Rockhound, offered an educational fossil program at the Montour Preserve to more than 100 people despite a steady rain most of the day leading up to the event. It started at the educational center with an overview of the types of fossils that can be found at the Montour Preserve fossil pit and tips for finding them before everyone went to the fossil pit to hunt for fossils. Below are several dozen photos from the event. Videos and other content will be added as it becomes available. The program was offered under the Vernal School Environmental Education Partnership.

What a fabulous thing to do! It's so wonderful to see children/families outside learning about nature in situ.
