Action Plan
This Plan sets out actions for geodiversity in Northumberland National Park. It does not claim to be conclusive, but rather aims to be a stimulus for action. It is hoped that the plan will evolve as more people and organisations become involved in the process. The Action Plan is designed to be revised and updated.
The plan includes suggestions for lead partners to take forward each of the actions, but this is in no way intended to be exclusive. Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to get in touch if they would like to be involved or have ideas for actions. The plan covers the following items.
- Contact and organise local interest in geology
- Designate and maintain data on important geological sites 2007
- Monitor condition of sites
- Ensure protection of sites through local and regional policies and strategies
- Practical conservation
- Geodiversity of active quarries
- Local use of stone
- Interpretation and public awareness
- Education and training
- Research
- Funding
