#A2A - Connecting lands and people across the #Algonquin to #Adirondacks region
"For a resilient, ecologically connected #A2ARegion that sustains a full range of native #wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.
The time to reconnect is now.
Nature cannot survive on isolated islands. Between #AlgonquinPark and the Adirondacks, a crisis of fragmentation is unfolding.
Roads, development, and borders have severed ancient migratory pathways, trapping wildlife in habitat pockets too small to sustain genetic diversity, find food, or adapt to a rapidly changing climate. When we isolate nature, we weaken the very systems that sustain us.
The A2A region is a continental lifeline. As one of the last remaining large-scale, #IntactForest and #wetland linkages in #EasternNorthAmerica, this corridor represents our best opportunity to ensure wildlife can move north–south across the #GreatLakes – #SaintLawrence system.
Our mission is to heal and reconnect these landscapes. We must repair these broken links to restore the interconnected web of biodiversity that sustains the health of our region and the resilience of the entire continent."

If you're like me and anxiously awaiting the canoeing season, I've got some good news: I brought my #Algonquin @iceoutbot back to life! Follow it for hourly updates on the ice status of lakes in Algonquin Park. #ontario #onstorm
(Sorry to those south of the border! I don't have a bot to get your ICE out.)

Am Algonquin Park bestimmt die Unterkunft oft mit, wie dein Aufenthalt funktioniert: ob du nah an den Parkzugängen bist, wie flexibel dein Tagesablauf bleibt und ob eine Rundreise oder mehrere ruhige Tage besser zu deiner Wahl passen.
In unserem Artikel zeigen wir, wann eine Lodge sinnvoll ist, wann eine Cabin mehr Freiraum bietet und wann ein Hotel die praktischere Lösung sein kann.

The incredible, edible #nut. Here's a look at the 8,000-year history of the #pecan
by Shelly Mitchell, Oklahoma State University/Special to Wisconsin State Farmer, Nov. 26, 2025
Excerpt: "The pecan derives its name from the #Algonquin '#pakani,' which means 'a nut too hard to crack by hand.' Rich in fat and easy to transport, pecans traveled with #NativeAmericans throughout what is now the southern United States. They were used for food, #medicine and trade as early as 8,000 years ago.
"Pecans are native to the southern United States, and while they had previously spread along travel and trade routes, the first documented purposeful planting of a pecan tree was in New York in 1722. Three years later, George Washington’s estate, Mount Vernon, had some planted pecans. Washington loved pecans, and Revolutionary War soldiers said he was constantly eating them.
"Meanwhile, no one needed to plant pecans in the South, since they naturally grew along riverbanks and in groves. Pecan trees are alternate bearing: They will have a very large crop one year, followed by one or two very small crops. But because they naturally produced a harvest with no input from farmers, people did not need to actively cultivate them. Locals would harvest nuts for themselves but otherwise ignored the self-sufficient trees.
"It wasn’t until the late 1800s that people in the pecan’s native range realized the pecan’s potential worth for income and trade. Harvesting pecans became competitive, and young boys would climb onto precarious tree branches. One girl was lifted by a hot air balloon so she could beat on the upper branches of trees and let them fall to collectors below. Pecan poaching was a problem in natural groves on private property.
"Even with so obvious a demand, cultivated orchards in the South were still rare into the 1900s. Pecan trees don’t produce nuts for several years after planting, so their future quality is unknown.
"To guarantee quality nuts, farmers began using a technique called grafting; they’d join branches from quality trees to another pecan tree’s trunk. The first attempt at grafting pecans was in 1822, but the attempts weren’t very successful.
"Grafting pecans became popular after an enslaved man named Antoine who lived on a Louisiana plantation successfully produced large pecans with tender shells by grafting, around 1846. His pecans became the first widely available improved pecan variety.
"The variety was named Centennial because it was introduced to the public 30 years later at the Philadelphia Centennial Expedition in 1876, alongside the telephone, Heinz ketchup and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty.
"This technique also sped up the production process. To keep pecan quality up and produce consistent annual harvests, today’s pecan growers shake the trees while the nuts are still growing, until about half of the pecans fall off. This reduces the number of nuts so that the tree can put more energy into fewer pecans, which leads to better quality. Shaking also evens out the yield, so that the alternate-bearing characteristic doesn’t create a boom-bust cycle."

#Katyal responded to #Kavanaugh that #Algonquin was one import. Not #tariffs broadly applied to numerous countries across the board.
“Algonquin was expressly a trade statute,” Katyal said. “It’s everything this case isn’t.”
He said the Algonquin decision had a reference to #duties in a specific provision & an extended, clear legislative history describing the powers given to a president.#SCOTUS #law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #AbuseOfPower #Trump #economy

Justice #Kavanaugh points to FEA v. #Algonquin, a 1976 tariff that was upheld by #SCOTUS.
The court unanimously ruled for President Gerald Ford in a case about the imposition of #tariffs on oil imports, based on a different statute that also doesn’t mention the word tariffs.
“The court 9-0 rejected the argument” that the absence of the word tariff doomed Ford’s action, Kavanaugh said.

5 sierpnia to rocznica urodzin Toma Thomsona, kanadyjskiego malarza związanego z ruchem, który dał początek Grupie Siedmiu. Eksplorował piękno dzikich krajobrazów Algonquin Park i stworzył dzieła pełne ekspresji i kolorów. Choć zmarł tragicznie w 1917 r., jego wpływ na kanadyjską sztukę jest trwały. (fot.
