The Trust is involved with a number of partnerships dealing with all aspects of Geoconservation, Earth Heritage, conservation & green issues in general.

The Geopark covers 1250 square kilometres and takes in parts of the four counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire. The Abberley and Malvern Hills is one of 10 Geoparks in the United Kingdom, and one of over 80 Geoparks globally.  Like ours, they are driven by organisations seeking to celebrate their geological heritage and achieve sustainable development through geotourism.  Herefordshire and worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust is currently the acting secretariat in the Geopark partnership of 18 organisations.
