What is a Geosite?

Geosite is the abbreviation for "site of geological interest".

A Geosite is an area from a few square metres to a few square kilometres in size which has a geological and scientific importance and whose geological character meets one or more exceptional criteria.

Geosites have landscape value and can attract an interest for conservation because they are non-renewable and unreproducible. Once lost they will be forever. For this reason they are considered as an invaluable asset to be preserved, known, and valued. This recognition extends to the biological ecosystems they inhabit.

The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark has a variety of Geosites along 165km of awesome coastline… From cliffscapes, to waterfalls, to harbours and seastacks. Explore some of the regions most iconic natural features below.
