The 2019 Wildwood Outdoor Classroom Summer Lecture Series continues with "'Living Fossils' In The New River Valley" on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at Wildwood Park in Radford, VA.
Did you know there is a little bit of Jurassic Park left in our own backyard? "Living Fossils" are organisms living today that have ancient origins. They have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years. Learn about local trees and plants that originated during the time of dinosaurs or before!
The talk will be led by Lynn Resler of the Virginia Tech Department of Geography.
Join us in a marvelous natural setting at twilight for these free bi-weekly, family-friendly multi-media presentations by local naturalists on Thursdays starting in June and continuing through August.
Park at the Main Entrance to Wildwood Park at Main & Grove or the Sundell & Park Road lot. It is a 5-minute walk to the classroom in the center of the park.
In case of rain, the lecture will move to the Radford Recreation Center. An announcement will be made by 6:00 pm the day of the lecture.
