This is an online event. If you want to view the talk, you’ll need to register with Conejo Open Space Foundation at this link.

Please join COSF for a live online presentation by geologist Dr. Thomas Davis, “Trail Geology: A Look at Rock Formations, Faults and Landscapes in the Conejo Open Space

Thom Davis is a researcher, geologic map maker and author of geologic publications, as well as an avid hiker, WTB member, and hike leader in the Conejo Valley. His talk will cover the rock formations you see in the open spaces, what they mean and how they formed.

The presentation will be Wednesday, September 11, at 7:00 pm, via Zoom. After the presentation, there will be a moderated Q & A session for attendees.

Dr. Thomas L. Davis is a California State registered geologist and founder and director of the nonprofit Geologic Maps Foundation, Inc.
