Property Info

The spectacular Katerjan Island is one of the few remaining large, undeveloped islands in southeastern Georgian Bay, and we are thrilled to be able to preserve it in its entirety thanks to the generosity of its anonymous owners.

Katerjan contains a mix of forests, rock barrens, and coastal wetlands, and is big enough to support habitat for many species, including larger animals like white-tailed deer. It is home to at least two documented species at risk, and almost certainly more. While a number of species can survive amidst a certain amount of cottage development, there are animals and life stages that require habitat away from human disturbance. Protecting large, undeveloped places like Katerjan is so important for the survival of these species, and for the biodiversity of our communities as a whole.
