Regionally Important Geodiversity Site (RIGS) are non-statutory local designations including the most important places for geology, geomorphology and soils outside the nationally recognised network of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). RIGS are identified for being one or a combination of scientific, educational, historical or aesthetic values. The impact of planting, if any, will depend on the nature of the RIGS feature, so early consultation with NRW is recommended. See GN002 for further details.
