We now have a walking guide about the geology of Carroll County near the Carrollton Greenbelt on the FOMR website. The guide was written and photographed by Dr. Tim Chowns, Professor Emeritus of the University of West Georgia.
The guide is on the Publications/Other Publications page.
Below is a list of FOMR activities planned for June, July, and August in McIntosh Reserve Park. Each of the Informal Hikes will be led by a FOMR member. There is no cost for attending these events, but the Park does charge an entrance fee of $5 per vehicle for those without an Annual Park Pass for Carroll County Parks.
These events are open to FOMR members and the public.
