The geologic event that most affected the land surface of Long Island was the advance of a massive continental glacier into this region during the Wisconsin stage of the Pleistocene Epoch. The southernmost Ronkonkoma moraine and the later-formed Harbor Hill moraine to the north are two sub-stages, or positions, of the ice sheet which occurred on Long Island.

This walk with Frank will give you an up-close view of glacial erratics–often the size of boulders–deposited as the glacier melted and retreated.
Walk Leader: Frank Quevedo, SOFO Executive Director
