The Trust is currently undertaking two Local Geodiversity Action Plans (LGAPs), one for each county. The primary objectives of the GAP process are to locate, record and conserve important representative geological sites in an area, promoting the geoconservation of these sites in scientific, educational, recreational and cultural contexts and making geoconservation relevant to people.   more »
View Article  Walking for Health on the Geopark Way

Natural England has made an award to the Trust from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund to develop geological trails that 'Walking the way to Health' groups can use as part of their established programmes. Four routes along parts of the Geopark Way are to be researched in partnership with the established walking groups. Promotion of geology and landscape as an enjoyable and educational part of walking is in the project as is the production of simple leaflets for participants. As well as the walking groups there are three Geopark partners participating in the project — Shropshire Geological Society, Gloucestershire Geology Trust and ourselves. A great way to improve your health and stay fit. Look out for the leaflets.

For more information contact Andrew Jenkinson or Adam Stinton. There is more information about the Geopark Way long distance footpath in our regular section about the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark in the latest edition of our newsletter.

More information about the Walking the way to Health Initiative can be found on their website www.whi.org.uk
