innovation, and on Friday 6th February, Dr. Liz

The Eni Challenge Award is open to amateur
individuals and groups who have created a
project which promotes geology in the community.
It’s a way to recognise the efforts and results
of enthusiastic amateur geologists from around
the country who share a genuine love of the
subject and give freely of their time to
advanced the subject to a wider audience in
sometimes quite diverse way

Wiltshire; and areas from the Lake District to
the Peak District and from individuals and
groups; and varied from guides and books, to
databases and on to the Forest of Dean Local
