Did you know the bedrock beneath our feet stretches for over 1,000 miles from eastern Wisconsin to Niagara Falls and beyond?
This is an invitation to come and explore the science, the mystery and the connections we have with the Door Peninsula at an informative and engaging 2-day symposium entitled "Cultivating a Sense of Place: The Niagara Escarpment, the Great Lakes and Human Perception." This event takes place at UW-Green Bay on January 10 and 11.
Leading experts in the fields of ecology, geology, history, human heritage and land stewardship will gather to explore the deep-rooted connections we have with landscapes such as the Niagara Escarpment. Presenters will enliven your senses and delve into its geology and human history, and what inspires us to connect deeply with a place. Noted author Karen Harwell from California will highlight her inspiring book 'Exploring a Sense of Place.' Dr. Roger Kuhns, a well-known local geologist and Jim Uhrinak, a landscape restorationist, will leave you asking for more as we explore significant connections between the Escarpment, the Great Lakes and our culture, both ancient and modern.
Join us to further appreciate this unique landscape and our collective past, while contributing your insight and inspiration to the ongoing efforts of the Niagara Escarpment Resource Network.
