On Saturday, August 27th, the Isle La Motte Preservation Trust will sponsor a Nature Bike Tour taking place between 1:30 and 4:30. Participants will learn about local plants, their lore and native use through the eyes of Sharon Powers, botanist and educator. In addition Tony Fowler, geologist and educator will highlight the fossil reefs of the Isle La Motte Reef and place them in Plate Tectonics context.   The tour will begin at Fisk Farm on Isle La Motte at 1:30.  (Folks can park their cars at Fisk Farm.) The tour will proceed by bicycle and/or foot to the adjacent Fisk Quarry Preserve where fossils from the 480 million year old Chazy Fossil Reef can be seen. From there the tour will continue by bicycle (or car if preferred) to the Goodsell Ridge Preserve. A short refreshment break will take place in the newly restored Goodsell Ridge Barn (where nature photographs by Art Murphy are currently displayed.) After that the tour will explore the rocks and plants of the Goodsell Ridge Preserve. Fisk Farm is located at 3849 West Shore Road, Isle La Motte, VT. For more information contact info@ilmpt.org.
