Field trips


In the interest of increasing the understanding of geology in general, and Nelson Region geology in particular, we have been:

• leading half day and longer field trips
• providing short talks and lectures
• compiling background information

These have included:

field trips to the Nelson Boulder Bank
Richmond foothill fossil expeditions
caving trips Source of the Riwaka River
Harwoods Hole (Abel Tasman National Park)
visits to major engineering projects being undertaken     locally (Nelson Marina expansion, Stoke by-pass,     Whangamoa / Spooner Range highway     reconstruction)
and others...
