Should rocks ring? Are you looking to look to learn a little bit about local geologic history? Are you in need of an autumnal visit to a woods or a waterfall? If any of the above sounds interesting to you, please join us at Ringing Rocks Park in Upper Black Eddy, Bridgeton Township, Bucks County, for a geology walk, some geologic history and context, and a pleasant morning of tapping rocks with hard object to hear them ring.
Our educator Tristan will provide geologic context for the area and lead a short tour of select geologic features there.
Saturday, October 17th, we will meet at 9:00 am at the main parking area in Ringing Rocks Park, 1750 Ringing Rocks Rd, Upper Black Eddy, PA 18972
Notes:
We encourage you to bring an appropriate object or objects to tap the rocks with. The rocks do not need to be struck with much force to ring. That said, we recommend bringing something that won’t be hurt by inclement weather, or for which it would not be disastrous if the object were to fall down between boulders and never be seen again.
Traditionally, a good hammer for hitting rocks is made of a solid piece of tempered steel, such as a one-piece steel masonry hammer.
Please wear appropriate clothing for conditions. Geologists can be hardy folk, so a little light weather may not require cancellation of the event. However, should events force the cancellation of the event, all participants would receive a full refund. For more information or any questions, please email tashcroft@perkiomenwatershed.org
Please only register for one space at a time.
