About the geology kit...

In the past, Willow Bend offered a downtown Flagstaff geology tour. Although it was fun and successful, we don’t currently have the resources to continue this tour. We hope to offer it again in the future... but until then we have created a downtown Flagstaff geology teacher’s kit so you can take your students yourself! The kit contains the lesson plan and all materials you need for the activities. Call (928) 779-1745 to reserve it!
