Over 500 people attend each year, and this year\u2019s attendance expected to be around 1,000. Executive Director and UB Geology alum, Dr. Phil Stokes, has invited UB Geology to participate again this year. We spend the day talking to parents\/students about the programs offered through the department, and running demonstrations pertaining to mineral identification, groundwater flow, seismic waves, and plate tectonics. There are usually plenty of volunteers, so first timers will have a chance to wander around collecting fossils, watch the drill rig extract a core, see the other exhibits, etc.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"tribe-events-single-event-description tribe-events-content\">\n<h1><strong>Volunteers Needed!!!\u00a0<\/strong>If you are interested please\u00a0send me an email to Carolyn at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:carolynr@buffalo.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">carolynr@buffalo.edu<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When:\u00a0Saturday, 10\/7\u00a0from\u00a09 am \u2013 4 pm Where: \u00a0Penn Dixie Fossil Park &amp; Nature Reserve \u2013 4050 North Street, Blasdell, NY 14219 What:\u00a0We\u2019ve participated in WNY Earth Science Day for over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":349,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/349"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/geology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
