One of the exercises we're doing in order to appreciate and understand the land that we are stewarding—is piecing together its long history....not just from a cultural perspective—but also from a geologic perspective.

We know the Finger Lakes has an interesting and rich geological history—especially after unearthing quite a bit of fossils in the forest and in our garden beds, but being that none of us are geologists, we reached out to Ithaca's @PaleontologicalResearchInstitution to see who might be able to walk the land with us and tell us more about how the land came to be—from its topography to its soils.

Geologist Alexandra Moore took up the task and we're thankful for that because we learned quite a bit walking the land with her!
