Dyckman Valley Exploration With Sidney Horenstein November 8, 2009

The Dyckman Valley, especially the area from Broadway to the Hudson River along Dyckman Street, exhibits many surprising and interesting geologic and natural features, such as faults, springs, interesting rock outcrops, and trees. Sidney Horenstein, geologist and Educator Emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, will conduct this walking exploration of the western portion of the valley. Participants will also visit the land fill that makes up the flat part of Inwood Hill Park along the Hudson River, to view and discuss the landscape of the Hudson Valley as well as the remains of the former ferry dock that was an important landing for thousands of people going to New Jersey.
