A conservation session took place at Portesham Farm in October following the siting of the new information boards in September and the quarry face and lime kiln are now in good condition. 

Some team members from the DIGs group carried out successful conservation at Red Lane Abbotsbury on Thursday (18.9.14) and Saturday (20.9.14).

The rock face was difficult to access because of nettles which have now been cleared. The rock face was also somewhat obscured by ivy and convolvulus which have also been cleared. This is an interesting site and a group of Canadian geologists are planning to visit in early October. Further information is available on the Red Lane Abbotsbury site page.

On Sunday 7 September a group of geologists from DIGS, DGAG, visitors from the Irish Geologists’ Association and the Open University Geological Society met at Crack Lane, Langton Matravers and spent the morning clearing the rock faces at the former quarry and clearing vegetation improving access.

In the afternoon we visited Keats’ Quarry and viewed the dinosaur footprints.
