A separate and self-contained addition to the existing PEI National Park, Greenwich protects a unique, migrating parabolic dune system. The spectacular dunes leave rare vegetation communities in their wake; and the continuously blowing sand has created an adjacent "skeletal" forest. Cultural artifacts have revealed 6000 years of M'iqmaq occupation, and an Acadian farming settlement.
