Earth Heritage

Earth Heritage is produced twice yearly by Natural England, Scottish Natural Heritage, Natural Resources Wales and the Geologists’ Association to stimulate interest in geodiversity and a broad range of geological and landscape conservation issues within the UK and further afield. It is free to download in pdf format and should interest geological conservation specialists, and those involved in studying Earth and environmental sciences in universities, colleges and secondary education.

Earth Heritage is available free online and readers now also have the option to buy it as a printed magazine.

For free downloads of any of the issues, Click This Link.
