A thought-provoking, and at times challenging, new exhibition called ‘Trade Roots’ opens next week at Jersey Museum, Art Gallery & Victorian House.
Jersey Heritage is proud to announce that His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has become Patron of the charity’s important restoration project to protect and preserve the ancient site of La Cotte de St Brelade.
A team of archaeologists are in Jersey this week to begin an ambitious survey on foot of a former Ice Age landscape off the south east coast of the Island.
The ‘AJIG Prospectus’ sets out 19 points of action, which range from working with different areas of the community, such as schools and the parishes, to the development of a geotourism offering for Jersey. Other actions include the creation of a new Scientific Committee to serve as a link between the Aspiring Geopark and academia; new signage at sites of geological interest; and increased access to these sites, where possible, whether physical or digital.
How do you squeeze 600 million years of history into a short walk along St Ouen’s Bay? The answer is to make every step represent half a million years!
The Aspiring Jersey Island Geopark Visitor Centre, sponsored by Saltgate, introduces the story of Jersey’s geological heritage.
