Map showing Dorset LGAP boundary.The LGAP covers the County of Dorset and extends into East Devon, where the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site and East Devon AONB Coast Path corridor are also included.

Devon already has a geological content within it's comprehensive Biodiversity Action Plan and this LGAP will be developed with this and other action plans in mind.

With action plans being developed for 3 AONBs, The World Heritage Site and two very active RIGS groups within the counties, the area covered by this LGAP has a wealth of expertise to call upon. The area has been well documented by the British Geological Survey and other researchers and has a history of over 200 years of geological investigation.

With cross county interests, such as the Cranborne Chase AONB, the LGAP will, we hope, develop with input from Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
