"Friend Island is in an ideal location for afternoon picnics or 'shoal hopping' on the open bay. Being a high use location, it has seen its fair share of issues over the years, namely garbage, and dozens of fire pits. Because of action by the GBLT and its volunteers, this has changed. As a result the island has reverted back to a pristine condition. I chose to become the steward for Friend Island because I've spent nearly every summer of my life along the shores of Georgian Bay, and I want to make sure it stays protected for years to come. The GBLT and all its volunteers make sure this will happen."
The Georgian Bay Land Trust seeks to preserve the unique archipelago and the adjacent water bodies which lie along the eastern shore and North Channel of Georgian Bay that are of ecological, geological and historical importance, and to promote the appreciation of this special area.
