Join staff from the Fundy Geological Museum on Fridays and Saturdays this summer for our series of Curatorial Walks. These interpretive walks are intended to help visitors and residents discover the area's rich geological past and natural heritage. Please note that the April-May tours are part of a series of walks offered as part of the Tantramar Seniors College Spring 2011 curriculum. Tours on Fridays and Saturdays during July and August may also be offered as part of the "parks are for People 2011" calendar of events.  All Curatorial walks are free with the payment of admission to the museum, or to members of the Cumberland Geological Society.

All tours depart from the Fundy Geological Museum and, depending on the site visited, last between three and five hours. Tour times vary due to the tides. Participants must provide their own transportation. Wear sturdy footwear, layered clothing, a hat, sun screen, and bring along a cool drink and a snack.

The walks are conducted to a variety of locations with good road and beach access, low/moderate to higher cliff sections, and to cobble foreshore and recognizable tide related hazards. While the primary focus of the walks is geological they are also intended to help visitors and residents learn about the area's rich geological past and natural heritage. Participants are invited to discover how five hundred million of years of nautual processes such as folding, faulting, fossilization, the formation and break up of Pangea. a diversity of rocks minerals and fossils., the distribution of natural resources, and our glacial past have all helped to shape the landscape around us, including the formation of the Bay of Fundy. They can observe a variety of modern day flora and fauna, both marine and terrestrial, and the land has an exceptional number of interesting features such as, wetlands, tidal marshes, Acadian dykes, glacial deposits and use of stone in local buildings.
