WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Aug. 17 at 5:30 pm, the Clark Art Institute hosts a nature hike along the Stone Hill trails. 

 

Bud Wobus, professor emeritus of geology at Williams College, introduces the hike; then the Clark's Head of Public Programs Will Schmenner leads the hike.

 

According to a press release:

 

Exploring the 500 million-year geologic history of Stone Hill, Wobus traces the processes of mountain building and erosion, bracketed by two vastly different shorelines, that have sculpted the hill we see today. Afterwards, Schmenner guides participants to sites along the Stone Hill trails, connecting the geologic story to the hill's present landscape.
