[Due to the NYC marathon, we will meet at the NW corner of Central Park]

Dear members,

How many times have you walked through Central Park and wondered what secrets its rocky landscape holds? Now it's your chance to find out! Join us for a guided geology tour of the city's most cherished park with Dr. Daniel Babin - geologist, climate scientist, and educator. For more details on Daniel's work, check out his Instagram page [@geoknowledgy](https://www.instagram.com/geoknowledgy/).

**Event fee**
All royalties gathered through this event will go to our guide. Organizing and leading a three-hour tour is hard work. By joining this ticketed event you are supporting Daniel's knowledge sharing endeavor.

*A message from our tour guide*

There is so much to learn about the history of the earth and its climate from the rocks beneath your feet. I want to transform a lovely fall Sunday stroll through this world famous park into a journey through 500 million years of earth's history.
You should walk away from this event with

1. A familiarity with basic geological principles such as rock types, stratigraphic principles, and tectonic processes
2. An idea of the sequence of events from deep to recent history that shaped the landscape of Manhattan and the Tri-State Area
3. A smile, laughs, and good company :)

**Meeting point**
**We will meet at 11 AM at the Northwest corner of Central Park at the Frederick Douglass circle.** I will have a giant orange flag on it that should make it pretty easy to find me.

**Difficulty level**
The total walking distance shouldn't be more than 2 miles. There will be parts of the tour where I will be doing more speaking, and at those times you can sit and rest on the rocks, grass, or a blanket if you choose to bring one. You don't need to wear boots, but some of the rocks are surprisingly steep for such a popular park, and a certain not-yet-to-be-named geological process has made them very smooth. You may want to scramble on them in order to get a closer look at certain features, so I recommend athletic shoes with a decent grip.
