This summer at Green Man Festival in Wales, we collaborated with the Secret Post Office on a zine-style activity pack inviting festivalgoers to record found objects using scientific observation and creative techniques. Here are some of the responses in cyanotype and crayon rubbing!

This was part of our ‘Green Energy Glade’, a joint initiative with the British Geological Survey and Cardiff University exploring Earth’s resources and environmental stories through interactive activities, play and conversation.

Thanks to everyone who took part, and to the volunteer undergraduate students we had the pleasure of working with!

🪨 Learn more about minerals and rocks at our upcoming Night School session: Introduction to Identifying Rocks and Minerals!

Rocks and minerals are the materials that make up our planet and record its history. The first stepping stone in being able to appreciate the Earth’s history using your own eyes is being able to identify rocks and the minerals they contain.

Join us on 28 October for this two-hour online session for some useful tips and tricks that make identifying these materials much easier, as well as some fascinating insights into the rocks that you see around you every day. Everyone is welcome, no previous knowledge required.

Register your place on our website 👉 https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/events/an-introduction-to-identifying-rocks-minerals/
