Rocky Road, Smooth Success: Pine Swamp Geological Tour a Big Hit!
Story and photos by Elanah Sherman, walk organizer and Avalonia Board member
On May 10, 2025, Mary DiGiacomo-Cohen, a geologist with the U.S. Geologic Survey, led a fascinating stroll in a corner of Connecticut rich in geological history — the Pine Swamp Wildlife Corridor. The well-attended tour, appropriate for both geological novices and those more familiar with the subject, garnered excellent responses, leading to hope for a ‘part two’ at another location sometime later this year.
Many thanks to Mary for an illuminating event that blended scientific expertise with a friendly, approachable demeanor. (And much gratitude to Elizabeth Sorensen for bringing and setting up the refreshments and literature table. Elizabeth, known as E, ensures that all Avalonia events run like clockwork.)
