The Land Between Working to conserve nature, wildlife, and culture in Ontario's Land Between bioregion Thomson. Lawrence Lowlands.

A National Charity dedicated to conserving and enhancing the unique cultural natural and economic features of a significant region in central Ontario stretching from Georgian Bay to the Frontenac Arch. There is also a visually spectacular, three-part, high-definition documentary series exploring this newly recognized area in Ontario, Canada. Now branded as The Land Between the documentary is directed by Zach Melnick and Narrated by R.H. The series uses aerial and time-lapse videography, cinematic historical re-enactments, animation, an original musical score, and hundreds of rare historical photographs and films to introduce you to The Land Between, and the ever-changing story of how humans have interacted with this special region throughout time. Known as an "ecotone", The Land Between is a liminal space between the Canadian Shield and the St. It is home to a host of overlapping species from the north and the south, which has encouraged sharing between First Nations cultures for thousands of years. But European settlers couldn't figure out what to do with its incredibly diverse patchwork of rock barrens, rivers, lakes and marshlands. It was not until the Victorian fascination with "wilderness" that The Land Between found a place in the collective psyche of Canadians – when people gave parts of it names like “Muskoka” and “The Kawarthas.” And it’s only recently that recreational use and urban resource needs have placed this biologically diverse region under threat.

It is with humility that we take this time to remember and honour the trials and tribulations suffered by our First Nation friends and allies - currently and through generations- and that we recommit today and every day to hold this truth in our hearts and take action through our work and walk in this Land in order to restore what has been lost and rebalance towards reconciliation. Aho 🙏🏼🧡

Eastern Hog-nosed Snake is certainly a Land Between specialist peering along sandy edges between rock barrens that are a signature of the region. Harmless and helpful they keep toad populations in check. They will mimic a rattlesnake before playing dead when they are threatened as they have no true defences. They present in different patterns and colour variations but all are thick bodies with a cream belly and that notable upturned nose. is pure wild, keep@it real. . Liam Thorne

The five lined skink is Ontario’s only lizard.
Differing from a salamander because these little guys have scales, claws and are reptiles.
The population in The Land Between bioregion represents 97% of the entire Ontario population.

The Land Between, stretching from Georgian Bay to the Ottawa Valley and lying between the Canadian Shield and Lowlands in Ontario is what ecologists call an “ecotone” - a transition zone or meeting place between two ecosystems- an landscape having features from each bordering ecosystem. Therefore, The Land Between is a mosaic or patchwork of many habitats. In fact it has the greatest habitat diversity in all of Ontario and is also remarkable in Canada.

The Land Between- most of Ontario’s cottage country- is home to globally rare wildflowers and habitats, as well as some pretty cool birds and animals that rely on these beautiful features. Atlantic coastal plain species are only found here and along the Atlantic-maritime areas such and Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada!

The Land Between is a landscape characterized by undulating hills and rocky outcrops. Amidst these hills, the water is held because of glacial scouring and the resulting depressions where water can pool - but primarily because of the wise beavers who have dammed up the lowlands to create pools and ponds that feed aquifers and also support water levels on lakes. The soils that develop in these wetlands attract unique plants which in turn support animals from moose, muskrat to turtles and also king birds and great blue herons.
spans South-central Ontario - a landscape that is called an ecotone; where two ecosystems collide.
