New York City is the site of ancient earth-shaking and earth-shaping events. The bedrock that anchors the city’s buildings and skyscrapers tells a story of a place going back more than a billion years. Join the Urban Park Rangers on a walk along part of Long Island’s terminal moraine, bulldozed up during our most recent ice age. Along the way, learn all about how our modern urban landscape is influenced by events long ago.
