Experience Stonehammer Geopark

Experience Stonehammer Geopark

Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark is a 2500km region in Southern New Brunswick with an almost continuous geologic history going back 1 billion years! Our geosites tell stories of the closing of one ocean and the opening of another, the emergence of life on Earth and how it has evolved since then. You can explore the geopark (check out our google map!) on your own or get in touch to book personal guided visits!

 

First designated as a Geopark in 2010, Stonehammer strives to make connections between natural history and the diverse perspectives and experiences of the people that live here. Stories about natural, cultural and intangible heritage are what make our region truly unique. We work with organizations that champion sustainable development and tourism, recognizing the intrinsic link between the land and our communities.

Land acknowledgement

The Saint John Region is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Nations. This territory is covered by Peace and Friendship Treaties signed with the British Crown in the 1700s. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources, but recognized Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency pays respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land, and is committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, collaboration, and reconciliation.
