Mayor Adds Education to Monthly Walks

Posted: Updated:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Nashville Mayor Karl Dean is on a mission to make Music City a healthier place, and now he's adding an educational twist to his monthly walks.

Saturday, the mayor was joined by Vanderbilt professor, Dr. Molly Miller at Percy Warner Park. She was there because Saturday's theme was Geology, which happens to be her specialty.

She and the mayor led the group two miles along Mossy Ridge trail taking a closer look at the ground.

"In my effort to satisfy my science requirement in college, I took geology. It's always interested me. I really have no expertise at all in the area, but I find thinking about how the Earth was formed and what we can learn just from looking at rocks and different formations fascinating," said Mayor Dean.

Upcoming walks include an Archaeology walk and a Spring Flower walk.
