PANAMA – Saturday, Aug. 1, and Sunday, Aug. 2, volunteers and staff of the Jamestown Audubon Nature Center will offer special opportunities at Panama Rocks, the natural attraction in Panama.

Visitors will be able to explore the scenic half-mile long ridge of 60-foot-high rocks that form crevices, passageways, and caves hidden in an ancient forest. Tom Erlandson and Dan Anderson, retired Jamestown Community College biology professors, will be on hand to lead natural history walks focused on their respective specialties, rocks and trees.
