FIELD TRIP OBJECTIVES In 2010 Stonehammer Geopark (Fig. 1), located in southern New Brunswick, became the first North American member of the Global Geoparks Network, an organization assisted by UNESCO. Geoparks are about rocks, but also about people, society and culture. Geology, geoheritage, geotourism, economic development and public education are all vital elements for a Global Geopark. Geotourism, based on the observation and understanding of geology, is a growing part of the tourism market. While geotourism is not new, the development of the European Geoparks Network, Asian Geoparks Network and the parent Global Geoparks Network are providing models for engaging the public in the appreciation of geology that link sustainable economic development with the preservation and interpretation of geology. This three day field trip will introduce Stonehammer Geopark and explore some of the localities that make it geologically and historically interesting. The trip will highlight features that made Stonehammer a successful geopark candidate, and examine the vital component of community engagement in developing Earth Science literacy. Stonehammer encompasses 2500 square kilometres centered on historic Saint John, Canada’s oldest incorportated city. Comprised of sixty geosites, the park stretches from Lepreau Falls Provincial Park in the west to the Fundy Trail Parkway near St. Martins in the east, and north to the villages of Norton and Hampstead. The geology of the park includes a billion years of stories. Rocks from eleven geologic time periods can be found within the park. In the more than 100 formations and igneous suites represented, there are numerous Group or Formation stratotypes and classic fossil localities. The region also has almost 200 years of geological exploration beginning with the geological surveys of Abraham Gesner. This trip will visit the Precambrian and Cambrian terrane contact at the Reversing Rapids (Fig. 2), a site better known for high tides of the Bay of Fundy that push the river backwards. The gorge at Reversing Rapids was visited by Charles Lyell in 1852 where he marvelled at the tidal phenomenon and visited the graphite mines that were then following seams in the Precambrian marble.
