Fieldtrip: Harrison Lake Fossils

Date Posted: February 18, 2008

The BCLS will be hosting a fieldtrip to Harrison Lake for clam and belemnite fossils. While this trip involves a 30 km drive on a logging road it always makes for an excellent daytrip. You are pretty much guaranteed of finding specimens.

Bring usual clothing, hammers, larger boulder cracking hammers, and chisels. Also bring along a lunch/snack and your camera!

When: Saturday, March 15, 2008

Meeting place: 9:00 AM the Sasquatch Inn parking lot.

The Sasqatch Inn is located on Highway #7 in Harrison Mills. This is also at the turn-off for the Hemlock Valley Ski area. If you don’t know where this is, check a map. You may end up being late and miss the group.

Leader: Gord Pinder, 604-870-4779.

If you plan on going it is recommended you call the group leader to ensure the event is still a go.
