EXPLORING THE GEODIVERSITY OF CORNWALL

This exciting project provides a great opportunity to raise the profile of Earth Science Conservation in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

It has been made possible by £20,000 awarded by English Nature through the Defra’s Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund Grant Scheme. The project is being run by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, through the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Work is being undertaken in collaboration with the Cornwall RIGS Group, with the RIGS Committee acting as the Steering Group for the project.
