The IGH Programme co-ordinates National Heritage Week in GSI by encouraging staff from throughout the organisation to lead field trips or give talks or other such events.

it is true though that, along with many other organisations, geological groups have encountered severe problems with public liability insurance in trying to offer Heritage Week events, particularly for outdoor field meetings. This has meant that many are now unable to offer such events. However, the Local Authority may be able to offer some assistance in this respect or advice in order to maintain a comprehensive programme of events.

By way of example here below is a sample of previous Heritage Week events organised by GSI. Our events are always free of charge with no booking required. We mount an exhibition in our offices in Beggars Bush and the guided walks across the country aim to bring geology and the wonders of our landscapes to the general public.
