The Nature Conservancy will hold its annual Broxton Rocks Easter Open House on Sunday, April 8, 2012, 12noon – 5pm. This annual event brings approximately 100-200 visitors to Coffee County. Volunteers are needed for staffing our reception tables, with general logistical help, leading mini-tours, and managing the parking situation. Volunteers will be provided a picnic lunch, and a spring afternoon at one of the most gloriously beautiful places in Georgia and a currently flowing waterfall.
Considered a natural wonder in South Georgia, the Broxton Rocks is part of a 15,000 square-mile band of subsurface sandstone known as the Altamaha Grit, formed by shifts in the Earth's tectonic plates eons ago. Rare plants, unique wildlife and a waterfall are only a part of the discoveries awaiting visitors on this date.
For more information on the Broxton Rocks or to become a volunteer at the Broxton Rocks Easter Open House, please contact Elise Cormier, Conservation Coordinator, at 404-253-7210 or email ecormier@tnc.org.
