At the final pop up event from the North West Kent Countryside Partnership’s Layered Landscapes Project, we will be discovering the chalk layer and the secrets it holds.
The chalk, a fascinating geological layer, can reveal a treasure trove of prehistoric wonders. Dating back millions of years, the chalk is renowned for its rich fossil deposits, offering glimpses into the ancient marine life that once thrived in prehistoric seas.
Additionally, the chalk layer’s history of human occupation means it can be a surprising source of Roman artefacts or ancient tools, offering insight into the lives of past civilisations.
Participating in this GeoAdventure allows you to explore these mysteries first hand and express your newfound knowledge through creative artwork. Whether you’re a bussing geologist or an art enthusiast, this free event promises an enriching experience where history, science and creativity converge.
