Become a Friend of the Trust

Fascinated in geology and beautiful landscapes in the area?

As a Friend of the Earth Heritage Trust, you join a group who share a keen interest in the fascinating geology and beautiful landscapes of this local area. Some of our members are deeply knowledgable and highly qualified geoscientists, while others are enthusiastic amateurs with little knowledge but an appetite to learn more.

All our Friends enjoy the privileges of full voting membership at the Trust’s General Meetings; receive a free electronic copy of the quarterly Down to Earth Magazine; and show their commitment to the trust through an annual subscription of at least £18

Our activities are focused in diverse ways on meeting the aims of the trust: to promote the protection, conservation, improvement and the education of Earth Heritage largely within the two counties.

If you are already a Friend and simply wish to renew your subscription to the Trust with an online payment you can go straight to the payment form.
