Devon Regionally Important Geological Sites Group was established in 1991. It is a voluntary organisation exclusively concerned with geological conservation in Devon.
If you are unfamiliar with the British Isles, Devon is the largest county in South West England, 115 km from North to South. The silhouette on the left represents an outline map of the county. It has the widest range of solid geology of any English County, from the Devonian period through to the Eocene. Many examples of Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks are found in the County. There are two universities, Exeter and Plymouth, offering courses in geological science.
Devon RIGS Group is composed of qualified members and seeks to promote geological conservation by working with local authorities, landowners and others. Devon RIGS works to protocols established through UKRIGS.
