Geopark

A Geopark tells the whole story of an area, right from the very beginning. We think that Jersey – which has been shaped by tide and time – should have this designation because of the Island’s exceptional geology, unique heritage, amazing landscapes and special seascapes.

Every Geopark is unique. There are 169 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 44 countries around the world. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture.
“UNESCO Global Geoparks are single, unified geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development.
A UNESCO Global Geopark comprises a number of geological heritage sites of special scientific importance, rarity or beauty. These features are representative of a region’s geological history and the events and processes that formed it. It must also include important natural, historic, cultural tangible and intangible heritage sites.

  1. Hi Dylan, there is a lot of work missing both from before summer and since we started new academic year in Sept. You must show more commitment and produce more work – especially making sure that you work productively in lesson. We need to see improvement immediately and expect the work below to be done by Tue 20 Sept. Thanks!
