The Kensington Conservancy becomes the Central Algoma Land Trust
NEWS RELEASE
The Kensington Conservancy is excited to announce that it has officially rebranded as the Central Algoma Land Trust. This new name more accurately reflects the organization’s core mission of land conservation, increases its visibility at both the provincial and national levels, and signifies an expanded commitment to protecting natural spaces across the broader Central Algoma region.
“There is so much history and so many accomplishments tied to The Kensington Conservancy name that will not be forgotten, but the future is bright and I am really looking forward to seeing where the organization goes from here,” said Carter Dorscht, Executive Director.
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. This area is rich in biodiversity, natural beauty, and ecological significance.
The organization extends its sincere gratitude to the members, supporters, volunteers, and community partners whose dedication and encouragement made this transition possible.
As the name change is gradually implemented, the public may still see references to the former name, The Kensington Conservancy, across signage, printed materials, and digital platforms. The organization appreciates the community’s patience during this transition.
