View Article  Welcome

We are a non-profit organisation that aims to record and protect geology and landscape, and to raise awareness of this Earth Heritage by engaging the public in educational programmes. The great variety of rocks in the two counties yields outstanding fossils and minerals, and they give rise to wonderful scenery. We are committed to promoting and safeguarding these assets for all the residents of, and visitors to, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

We are also involved in promoting healthy living through walking with our 'Explore' self guiding trails and the Geopark Way and associated trails. In addition, you can find information about the sites we have designated as RIGS in the two counties, about various projects we are involved in (including the Local Geodiversity Action Plans) and much more.

A free 12 page brochure (2nd edition) describing the Trust and our work is also available to download and read. Adobe Acrobat is required.

If you are interested in joining us a member or looking for any voluntary work, then please download and return our membership and volunteering form. (Adobe Acrobat required). If you require a paper copy, or have any other general inquiries then please contact us using the information to right.

If you would also like to raise funds for the vital geoconservation work we do across the two counties and you shop online, then follow this link to Easy Fundraising. All you need to do is register and then each time you want to buy something online, simply login prior to spending your cash! With every purchase you make, a donation will be made to the Trust.
