Axel Heiberg Community Consultations

Fossilized trees on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut
Aarluk has been working for several months with the Government of Nunavut, Department of Environment to prepare a background study on the fossil forest sites on Axel Heiberg Island and Ellesmere Island. In the next two weeks consultations will be held in Grise Fiord (May 27) and Resolute Bay (May 30) to give the community members an opportunity to discuss the research data that has been collected on the sites, and provide input into how these mummified and petrified tree, plant, animal and insect fossils can be preserved for the future.
