PLAN

Research-based approach to conservation planning

The Georgian Bay Land Trust uses scientific research to identify and prioritize key habitats for conservation. Our Conservation Plan identifies over 75,000 acres of priority land for protection in the eastern Georgian Bay region, based on factors including biodiversity, ecosystem function, climate change resiliency, and importance for species at risk. Our work is focused on conserving as many of these places as possible.

The Georgian Bay Corridor Project is an ambitious plan to preserve Georgian Bay's ecological integrity by establishing a protected habitat corridor along the eastern shore. The proposed South, Middle, and North parts of the Georgian Bay Corridor will join existing protected areas to form a new unfragmented wilderness area and establish a permanent migratory haven for over 50 at-risk species.
