OVLC Plant and Geology Hike
Beneath your feet lies columns of history like pages in a book. Layers of sand and silt like text illustrate an ever evolving landscape. Creating the basis of our ecosystems, soils are composed in mosaics of features whose characters have been expressed for millions of years. In rhythmic harmony with the soil, plants swiftly arose from the textured ground and cultivated a biodiverse foundation for life.
Join Sophie and Martin as they depict the clues found within sands and lignin and dive into the dynamics of life that has shaped our existence.
