Earlier this month, a small group of us went on an informal visit to Arenig Fawr in N Wales. Our aim was to compare the rocks of the area to the SW Birmingham erratics. It was a fantastic day! We plan to compile some notes based on this visit. Do email us if you'd like a copy. 🙂

Some of the boulders in our project area have metal plaques on or adjacent to them. Examples include Bell Heath, Clent and Fladbury. We'd love to learn more about these plaques, such as their age and by whom they were installed. Please let us know if you have any information! 🙂

We are really looking forward to attending Earth Day at Weoley Castle Square on Saturday 22nd April. We'll have badge and volcano making, our slime glacier and our brand new Trail 4 leaflets!

Many thanks indeed to our volunteers who joined the BCGS at a clearance session of the Illey Pastures Boulder earlier this month. This fantastic example of an Arenig erratic is only partially exposed, and we were keen to get a better idea of just how large it is!

We'll be at The Lapworth Museum tomorrow from 12:00 to 5:00 for our 'From Fire to Ice' Family Event. Make your own volcano, a Jurassic creature badge or decorate a snowflake! This will be our last event of 2022, so do join us if you can!
