Coastal Landforms and the Tectonic Landscape Walk - September 27 or October 11

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Join Physical Geographer Rowena Forest as we explore the western edges of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens to discuss and marvel at Northern California’s coastal landscape and landforms. We will discuss and observe local geology, the evolution of coastal landforms including marine terraces, the tectonic forces and mechanisms that are shaping the landforms of coastal Mendocino, and the interplay of the coastal landscape with the native ecosystems adapted to them.

This field trip will deepen your understanding of the geomorphic and tectonic foundations of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and of the California Coast.
