If you have an interest in geology or the landscape around you, we would appreciate your assistance. It is great to have professionals, but we have many interested amateurs, so if you possess hidden talents or even if you don’t have experience, we can advise and train you. Listed below are some of the areas where you can help:
- Specimen Identification and Collections: Identify and continue to catalogue and maintain our growing rock collection.
- Library and Photo Archives: maintaining the library of specialist publications and keeping the photo archives up to date.
- Publications: We produce a range of promotional literature, trails and guides. Become a Geopark guide or a trail tester.
- Practical Work: Assist with site maintenance programmes and geoconservation.
- Field Assistant and/or Field Photography: Accompanying and assisting consultants during field trips, taking photos out in the field.
