Are you coming to the cottage this summer?

As you make your way into the wilderness this summer, make sure to keep an eye out for our furry (and scaley) friends! Our animal friends like squirrels, moose, turtles and other wildlife often cross roads in search of food or shelter, and they rely on us to be vigilant. 🐿🐢🫎

See below for some tips on how you can avoid a collision on your way!

Find us at the Lansdowne Fair this Saturday and Sunday! 🎪

Come visit the our table where we'd love to chat about our work to conserve and restore the landscapes between Algonquin Park and the Adirondacks so that wildlife have access to unimpeded movement across the corridor. While you're there, try your hand at making your own moose antlers, and learn how you can help protect the Frontenac Arch Biosphere.

Want to do more? We're looking for volunteers to table with us at events throughout the rest of the summer. It's a great way to connect with your community and speak up for the landscapes we all love. Head to the link in our bio to sign up. 🔗

This week, four American states have made it easier to build wildlife crossings! 🎉

Utah, Virginia, and Oregon have all passed legislation that creates internal funding for the crossings while Idaho passed a resolution supporting wildlife crossing infrastructure investments.

Thank you to Kamrin Baker at Goodnewspaper for reporting on this. We are so excited to hear of these amazing developments!

Alice The Moose: The A2A Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaborative Inspiration
By: Jean Dabros - from our latest edition of River Talk

When "Alice" the moose was collared and released into New York's Adirondack Park in 1998 she began an inspirational journey. After two years she left her home park and headed for the Canada/US border, swimming across the St. Lawrence River in the spring of 2000 and walking across Ontario's four lane Highway 401. By winter of 2000 she had crossed into Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park, completing a journey of 570 km. Alice's journey underscores the importance of the ecological corridors that run through the Thousand Islands/Frontenac Arch Biosphere region and the need for an understanding of wild life's "Right to Roam".

Can the "Architects of the Wild" find their way home? 🐺🌲

The Eastern Wolf once roamed across North America, but today, they are confined to small pockets of Ontario and Québec. As a keystone species, they don’t just live in the forest — they shape it, maintaining the health and balance of our entire ecosystem.

The A2A region is a hopeful pathway for their recovery.

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Dr. Jonathan Cole and Dr. Jeff Bowman from Trent University (supported by Mitacs) to map out exactly what these wolves need to thrive. By identifying the best habitats and "linkages," we’re creating a roadmap for conservation that works.

Let’s ensure the Eastern Wolf can once again roam safely across the landscape they call home.
