Property Info

The Southern Corridor represents a Conservation Easement Agreement between Georgian Bay Township and the Georgian Bay Land Trust, to conserve a network of township-owned lands stretching from Honey Harbour to Twelve Mile Bay. This agreement directly conserves 553 acres of municipal land, and provides additional protection to 32,900 acres of crown forests and wetlands that is surrounded by the municipal lands. The result is an extensive protected corridor that fills the gaps between existing conservation areas and dramatically increases long-term resiliency in the landscape.

The Southern Corridor is just the start of the Land Trust’s ongoing Corridor Project, whose goal is to secure our region’s ecological integrity and protect public access to nature by creating a protected habitat corridor along much of Georgian Bay’s eastern shoreline. Thank you to Georgian Bay Township and the donors who supported this easement for being champions of this project in its early stages.
