Geology Club

  • Six members of the Geology Club and advisor pose on top of mossy rocks next to a small waterfall in the woods.
  • Geology club members and advisor stand behind their club fair table, which has a black display case behind it containing various rocks, minerals, and fossils

All are welcome to learn and explore with the PVCC Geology Club! We strive to educate our members through regular presentations from experts in a variety of geologic disciplines, regular hikes, activities, movie nights, trips and more.
