About the event
What’s intriguing about Long Island and our surrounding waters is that so much of the story happened in the last 12,000 years, when humans were here. This talk will discuss the features that make Long Island's geology distinctive and have shaped the peoples who have inhabited this island. From salt marshes and cranberry bogs to hardwood forests and the Hempstead Plains, our Island has been continuously being reshaped and it influences our society today. Join us at the historic Nathaniel Rogers House for a trip through the past to learn about Long Island’s natural history. Co-Sponsored by The South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center.
