Hertfordshire Geoconservation Sites

The sites we oversee are shown on the map below and are categorised as either Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (RIGS) or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

You can find brief information on all these sites using the map below.  Fuller details are given on the RIGS and SSSI pages.

A Geological Conservation Strategy for Hertfordshire describes how these sites are protected and managed.
