The local Geological Society for people interested in Geology and Earth Sciences. The Westmorland Geological Society aims to foster awareness of the Earth Sciences and to provide a forum for all who are interested.
Membership is open to all and non-members can attend individual events for a small fee.
Particular encouragement is given to those with little knowledge of geology. The Society also organises a three day residential trip further afield. In winter a programme of evening lectures takes place in Kendal, usually on the third Wednesday of the month. The Society is actively engaged in mapping an area near Kendal which may be incorporated into a British Geological Survey map. See Mapping Project 2000 link.
