Merlin Energy Resources Fund Conservation and Education Project

Merlin Energy Resources Ltd have kindly made a significant contribution to GGT in order for us to carry out conservation work on a series of important geodiversity sits across the county. Once conservation work has been carried out, we will then produce a set of Key Stage 2 educational resources for each site, which can be downloaded directly from the website.

Once Merlin and ourselves have decided on which sites are to be conserved, we will be looking for volunteers for conservation days to carry out the work. We will email members and post requests for volunteers on this page
- so keep checking for more details

A New Addition to Gloucester Cathedral

A new piece of artwork to mark the southern endpoint of The Geopark Way was unveiled outside the
South Porch of Gloucester Cathedral. This consists of a slab of Devonian sandstone carved with a depiction of a
trilobite and engraved with "The Geopark Way" and "Gloucestershire Geology Trust".

The stone, from the Brownstones Formation,was donated by Wilderness Quarry and carved by one of the
Gloucester Cathedral masons, Sebastien David. It was officially unveiled by the Dean of Gloucester Cathedral,
Rev. Nick Bury on Saturday 17th July, 2010.

The inclusion of this sculpture in the actual fabric of the Cathedral is very significant; it means that the Trust and
The Geopark Way have actually added a new piece of heritage to the Cathedral, one of the most significant pieces of heritage
in the whole of Gloucestershire. Our sincere thanks go out to all those who made this possible, including the Cathedral officals
and staff, the stone masons and everybody who has contributed to The Geopark Way project.
