The Central Algoma Land Trust protects land by accepting donations of land, purchasing property, and entering voluntary conservation agreements. These protection methods are all aimed at preserving the area’s irreplaceable landscape in perpetuity.
Central Algoma is locally defined as the region extending from the eastern edge of Sault Ste. Marie to the eastern boundary of the Municipality of Huron Shores, including St. Joseph Island and surrounding outlying islands in Ontario, Canada. However, nature does not recognize human-made boundaries. While our primary focus is within Central Algoma, our conservation efforts remain flexible to respond to the needs of the land, water, and wildlife across the broader Algoma District landscape.
Our Vision: to inspire all members of the Central Algoma community to embrace positive conservation values that will promote the protection and preservation of natural ecosystems for all generations.
Our Mission: the establishment, development, maintenance and management of nature preserves and programs in Central Algoma for the conservation and preservation of the natural ecosystems.
Since 2001, the Central Algoma Land Trust has successfully protected numerous wetlands, forests, islands, and other critical wildlife habitats, while also conducting research, offering recreational opportunities, and engaging and educating the community. This includes 16 protected areas, almost 500 hectares of protected land, 7,350 metres of protected shoreline, 4 entirely protected islands, and habitat for almost 1,700 species.
Beyond protecting land, we partner with landowners, governments, schools, and other organizations to deliver projects and education programs that promote stewardship, including sustainable development, sound land and water management, invasive-species control, and low-impact recreation.
“Central Algoma Land Trust protects the very best of what all of us love in Central Algoma - undeveloped sight-lines of rocky shores, towering white pines and blue water, creeks that now run clear thanks to stream preservation, the sounds of warblers, woodpeckers, cranes, wrens, loons, and hundreds of other bird species in the woods and fields and the sight of a chipmunk, moose, otter, mink or beaver at work in the natural world. All of this is available to residents of our area thanks to the amazing efforts of the staff and the hundreds of people who give of their time and money so that each of these amazing experiences can be absorbed by all of us. It is a huge group effort, and I am happy to be one of the group!” - Nancy Shrank
