During the EdGEO workshop you will explore the landscape of the geopark which has been created by the collision of continents, the closing and opening of oceans, volcanoes, earthquakes, ice ages and climate change. We will provide you with the tools you need in your classrooms to make it real for our 21st century students.

What is Stonehammer Geopark?
Stonehammer Geopark is about geology,but it is also about
people,society and culture. Our lives are shaped by the
geology;where we settle,the landscape,the crops we grow,
natural hazards,water resources,climate,what we mine,and
the energy we use are all linked to geology. You will experience
a billion years of Earth’s history. For more information about
