| Welcome to Mid-Atlantic Fossil and Nature Adventures! I’m Cathy Young, Director of Mid-Atlantic Fossil and Nature Adventures. I’ve always had a passion for nature, and love giving both adults and children alike the opportunity to learn about fossils and nature. The best way to learn is by actually doing! I was Director of Membership for a nature museum for 5 years, and became friends with many wonderful scientists and naturalists. When I left the museum, I realized that there is a need for fossil and nature trips for the public to enjoy, and decided to start this business. I contacted many of these experts, and they are the trip leaders of the Mid-Atlantic Fossil and Nature Adventures. Most of these trips are geared to all ages – adults and children alike. Many of the sites that we go to on the fossil trips are closed to the public. However, the paleontologists who lead the trips have special permission from the land owners to bring groups there to collect fossils. Many of the fossils that have been found on the fossil trips have been “museum quality”. It’s a known fact that many new fossil specimens have been found by amateurs, just like you! One never knows what you will find on one of our adventures. Click on the Event button for information on upcoming adventures. |
