The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada recently designated Fundy as a Dark Sky Preserve. This means it's one of the best places to explore the night sky in Canada. Think of a dark sky preserve as an astronomy park where the night sky glows with millions of stars visible to the naked eye.

Fundy National Park also serves as the core area for the Fundy Biosphere Reserve. Biosphere reserves are areas designated by UNESCO to serve as models for demonstrating a balanced relationship between humans and the biosphere.

The geology of Fundy National Park is a well-kept secret, but by exploring the beaches, hiking the deep river valleys and travelling over the Caledonia Highlands, you can piece together the story, which is as rich and varied as that of the Earth itself.
