Summary: Join Interpretive Ranger Reba Brumbeloe to explore the various geological provinces of Georgia. Georgia is home to a wide variety of ecosystems, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Coastal Plains of Savannah. Georgia is home to five drastically different landscape provinces, all unique to Georgia. In this talk, we will discuss how erosion has played such an important part of Georgia’s vast ecosystems, different rock formations, and unique features of each region. With such a variety of landscape, there is a patchwork of various geological features to explore.
