Mr. Higgins, a Professional Geologist and Steering Committee Member of the Massachusetts Geologic Society will be presenting an afternoon talk on the geology of Fresh Pond. Did you know that Fresh Pond rests on top of a buried bedrock valley? Or that deposits of clay were once mined in the area?  Please join Mr. Higgins to learn firsthand about the geology of the Fresh Pond area.  The goal of this presentation is to help people understand the geologic processes that formed the Fresh Pond landscape of today. Please RSVP to fpr@cambridgema.gov.
