This will be an introduction to the purpose\, equipment\, processes\, and results thus far in this continuing long-term project.  \n\nGreat Marsh History from ice age tundra\, mastodons\, and permafrost to a warm peatland with groundwater springs and turtles with Dorothy Merritts and Robert Walter (12:30-1 PM – Nature Center)\nProfessors Dorothy Merritts and Robert Walter of Franklin and Marshall College will talk about how the Great Marsh formed at the end of the cold period of the Last Full Glacial episode about 12\,000 years ago. They’ll discuss the shift with warming since then from permafrost (frozen ground)\, tundra\, wooly mammoths and mastodons to wet meadows surrounded by forested hillslopes filled with elk\, deer\, bears\, and humans. Today Great Marsh is a rare vestige of what much of the region’s valley bottoms looked like until about 1700 AD\, when European settlers began clearing forests\, building dams for water power\, and altering most of the mid-Atlantic landscape–especially wetlands. The story-telling will include time to look at actual samples of marsh soil that are thousands of years old and contain fossil seeds from early marsh plants.\nParticipating Vendors\nDavis Witmer Visual Arts\nOffering pen and ink sketches and prints.\ndaviswit.wixsite.com/doodlevis\nFollow @doodlevis on social media \n \n  \nEpicurean Garage\nFood truck offering delicious meals on the go.\nwww.epicureangarage.com
