About this event
Join Dr. Eric W. Sanderson and Greenbelt Educators for a conversational walking tour that blends Staten Island’s past and present landscapes into dialogue. Together, participants will explore the historical ecology of LaTourette Park in the Staten Island Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is located on the terminal moraine of the Wisconsin Glacier. During this hike through the central Greenbelt, see how glacial topography shaped the Greenbelt's past, charted a course for the present day Greenbelt trails, and will help shape a sustainable, resilient future. Recommended for participants age 12+.Additional instructions for participants: Wear sturdy footwear for hiking through rocky terrain and dress suitably for the weather conditions.
