Welcome

Westmorland Geological Society

The local Geological Society for people interested in Geology and Earth Sciences.

Founded 1973

President: Prof. Euan Clarkson FRSE

The Westmorland Geological Society aims to foster awareness of the Earth Sciences and to provide a forum for all who are interested. Membership is open to all and non-members can attend individual events.  Particular encouragement is given to those with little knowledge of geology.

In summer the Society holds field excursions (usually on Sundays) to places of geological interest within reasonable travelling distance of Kendal. The Society also organises a residential trip further afield. In winter a programme of evening lectures takes place in Kendal usually on the third Wednesday of the month. See Winter/Summer programme links.
