Property Info

Located just west of Killarney Provincial Park, the McGregor Bay – La Cloche Mountains property consists of a larger mainland portion and a small island. Both contain high quality habitat for several at-risk species, including Bald Eagle, Monarch Butterfly, and Algonquin Wolf.

The largely undeveloped nature of the Killarney area makes it one of the few places in Ontario where Algonquin Wolves are reliably seen outside of Algonquin Park itself. Listed as a threatened species in Ontario, Algonquin Wolves are most at risk from hunting and trapping, road mortality, and human-caused habitat loss. Protection by the Land Trust means that this property, otherwise slated for development, can continue to be a home to wolves and many other species for years to come.

Thank you to Lynn & Ned Jessen, Angel Lillard & Bill Detmer, and Paula & Jim Preschlack for your generosity in donating these eight acres of land to the Georgian Bay Land Trust in honour of Paula & John Lillard and Pauline & Louis Polk, Sr.
