The Marys Peak Alliance of AFRANA is pleased to present a virtual field trip to Marys Peak.

Marys Peak Field Trip 2020 from Matt Kellam on Vimeo.

The Marys Peak Alliance of AFRANA just released a new video, Marys Peak Field Trip 2020, online for the public. During normal times, the Marys Peak Alliance takes hundreds of local students and adults on interpreted field trips of Marys Peak annually. Since those activities have been placed on hold this year, they produced, with a generous grant from the Frenkel Family Trust, a video showing many of the remarkable aspects of Marys Peak. This video can be as enlightening to veteran Marys Peak visitors as it is to the first time visitor.

This video is freely available to the public at www.AFRANA.org or on Vimeo. Viewers may want to watch the full video or individual segments, as designated in the program time codes below. Anyone interested in using this video for educational purposes might want to download this worksheet. You can also download the program time codes here.
