RIGS - Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites
RIGS groups aim to identify, survey, protect and promote geological and geomorphological sites within their areas. RIGS are selected for their educational, research, historical and aesthetic value and some sites already have SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) status.
The nationwide organisation UK RIGS (www.ukrigs.org.uk) has set up twelve sites of exceptional educational value. We are very fortunate in the West Country in that one of those sites is in Somerset - Tedbury Camp and Vallis Vale - www.ukrigs.org.uk/html/esos.php
I am leading a field trip to Tedbury Camp and Vallis Vale for the Bath Geological Society on Saturday 21st July. Please contact the secretary if you are interested in joining us - www.bathgeolsoc.org.uk

Geological Organisations in the West Country
Maybe because of our increasing awareness of the need to conserve and preserve our environment, I find that lots of people are now very interested in geology. On the right-hand side of this blog you will see a list of all the geological organisations in the West Country and it is hoped that this will help to assimilate ideas from all the members and officers of those societies and groups.
Eventually, I hope we can publish a list of all sites of geological interest in our area so if you know of any that have public access, please let us know. Most of the groups already have their own lists which we can all share. Perhaps we can join together for field trips too?
