Celebrating the Chinguacousy Badlands
The Chinguacousy (“land of the young pines”) Badlands have been visited by hundreds of thousands of Ontarians. This rapidly eroding clay-shale bedrock at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment is a unique natural heritage feature in the province. As a designated Area of Natural and Scientific Interest, and as a landscape featured in hundreds of promotional campaigns (most recently in the Ontario “Where Am I” campaign), it is well worth celebrating in 2017!
