Come along with the Oliver and District Heritage
Society and the Oliver Branch of the Okanagan Historical Society on a field
trip to Oliver’s Balancing Rock.

You are invited to join Dr. Murray Roed, retired geological and engineering consultant, author of several books, and accomplished artist on a field trip to the “Balancing Rock” located at the 13 km mark upMcKinney Road.

 

Roed has a PhD degree in Geology and a Master of Arts degree. Roed has recently published his second book on geology: Okanagan Geology South, Geologic Highlights of the South Okanagan, British Columbia, which we will have available for sale—a great opportunity to get a signed copy.

Although this particular geologic feature is not included in Okanagan Geology South you will have the unique opportunity to enjoy Roed’s interpretation first-hand based on his examination and evaluation of the site.

Anyone wishing to participate is asked to meet at the Oliver Community Centre parking lot at 1 p.m. on Sunday, September 25. Participants need to provide their own transportation from the community centre.

There is no charge to take part in this event.
