Mile-A-Month Earth Day: Geology of Seth Green

  • Seth Green Park 93 Seth Green Drive Rochester, NY, 14621 United States (map)

We’ve reached capacity for this event. Thanks for your interest!

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to learn about the geology of a special portion of the Genesee River.

Join Genesee River Alliance and Tyler Lucero, an environmental science educator, for a Geological Tour at Seth Green. On this one mile walk we’ll “read” the 450 million year geologic story of this area from the rock layers that have been revealed by the Genesee River carving out the gorge at Lower Falls. We may even find some fossils! Walking this hidden Lower Falls access route will reveal the hidden history of our region- mountains, oceans, glaciers, and more.

This is a guided family, stroller and pet-friendly walk. All ages and abilities are encouraged to join us. Please dress appropriately for walking and the weather (sturdy footwear, and clothing to accommodate the temperature). Please bring a reusable water bottle.

Light refreshments will be provided at the end of the walk.

Walks are 90 minutes, and will begin at 10 am and 1 pm.

(This event is now at capacity. Thank you for your interest.)

Free parking is available at the Seth Green Drive parking lot where we will also meet. Contact Helen Dumas at hdumas@geneseelandtrust.org with questions.

Please note, in accordance with the latest CDC guidance, masks are optional for fully vaccinated attendees. Please do not attend if you are not feeling well.
