North Woodloes Quarry – Geoconservation Work

Help us preserve a stunning exposure of the Helsby Sandstone Formation. This hands-on event focuses on maintaining the clarity of the rock face by removing encroaching saplings and clearing moss to reveal the geological detail beneath.

Access & Arrival: Warwickshire Gold Club Greenkeepers Compound: We have permission to park at the Greenkeepers compound (///keep.stored.coasting) but please supply your registration number to Jane Allum by the 14th February if you wish to do this. If you park elsewhere please make your own way to the site or contact Jane Allum on the day .

What to Bring: Please wear sturdy footwear and bring gloves if you have them. Whether you’re a geology enthusiast or just love the outdoors, your help is vital in protecting this local treasure.

Walking route: We have agreement that we can walk around the perimeter of the golf course and as you can see on the figure below there is a public footpath which is in good condition that crosses the golf course. So if tripping over tree roots and wading through mud is not your thing you might consider taking the golf course routes, albeit they are probably longer in distance terms.

The WGCG has a long history of undertaking such geoconservation work. So, if you’re interested in being part of this latest undertaking and making some new friends then please register your interest with [email protected] as soon as possible.

Further details will be sent out to interested persons nearer the date.
