BURLINGTON UNDERFOOT
Bedrock, soil, ravines, and how the ancient origins of our physical landscape influenced centuries of city planning
Walter Poleman travels across a billion years of history as we watch powerful glaciers and enormous tectonic collisions sculpt our landscape into the Burlington we recognize today. Jeff Marshall shows us a hidden ravine that once defined our interaction with Burlington’s physical landscape.
Presented by:
Jeff Marshall, Director of Bailey/Howe Library Special Collections, UVM
