The Nature Conservancy will hold a fall volunteer picnic and tour guide training on Saturday, September 29, 2012 from 12:00pm – 3:00pm. Anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer or tour guide for the Broxton Rocks is encouraged to attend. There will also be a public tour on Saturday from 10am-12pm. Volunteers are not required to attend the tour.
Considered a natural wonder in South Georgia, the Broxton Rocks are 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.
