Our natural landscapes are vital for wildlife, clean water, and community well-being. Protecting these lands ensures a healthier future for both people and nature.
Our mission is the establishment, development, maintenance and management of nature preserves and programs in the Central Algoma region for the conservation and preservation of the natural ecosystems.
Protecting Central Algoma’s beauty
The Central Algoma Land Trust protects nearly 500 hectares of ecologically sensitive land across the Central Algoma region. These protected areas include a diverse range of habitats such as wetlands, shorelines, islands, and forests. Many of these lands provide critical habitat for native wildlife, support biodiversity, and help maintain the region’s natural beauty and ecological health. Through careful stewardship, these conserved areas are safeguarded for future generations while offering opportunities for education, research, and public enjoyment.
Establish a conservation legacy
Landowners can partner with the Central Algoma Land Trust to protect their land for future generations. Whether through conservation easements, land donations, or other preservation options, the Central Algoma Land Trust can help ensure properties remain protected in perpetuity. The Central Algoma Land Trust offers guidance and support throughout the process to identify conservation solutions that align with each landowner’s goals and values.
Connecting people with nature
The Central Algoma Land Trust encourages members of the local community to get involved in its conservation efforts. There are many opportunities to volunteer, learn, and explore. Whether individuals are interested in hands-on stewardship, educational events, or simply discovering the natural beauty of protected lands, there are ways for everyone to participate. By working together, the community can ensure these special places thrive for generations to come.
