Geopark Forum member ‘Geologists in the Geopark’ is working with Forum member ’Severn Valley Country Park’ on its Lives in the Landscape’ project. The early part of 2020 will see a programme of encouraging members of the public and existing volunteers to participate in a number of activities. These include investigations of the old colliery spoil heaps for rocks and fossils; guided walks around area looking at local geology and industrial archaeology; hands on geology teaching sessions; and talks on stone quarrying in the Severn Valley. For more information about joining in contact Severn Valley Country Park.
