Geological Conservation Review (GCR) Site Management Reports
Multi-page reports produced for each Geological Conservation Review (GCR) site. The reports contain geological and conservation information, comprehensive site photography and local information. The Geological Conservation Review looked at identifying geological sites across the UK, that make up a unique contribution to Britain’s Earth Heritage. The Geological Conservation Review started in 1997 when a more systematic approach to site selection occurred. The objective of the review was to identify those sites needed to show all the key scientific elements of the Earth heritage of Britain.

Site selection was undertaken between 1977 and 1990 by the Nature Conservancy Council. It covered both the geology and geomorphology of Britain and involved several hundred scientists from high education, government, industry and the voluntary sector. Reports are produced by Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) Earth Scientists and approximately 350 have been completed out of 450 Welsh GCR sites. Arguably the most comprehensive geological site information CCW holds.
