#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."

Why this tribe is buying up hundreds of acres of farmland — and flooding it

A new levee built by the #StillaguamishTribe separates farmland from newly restored #wetlands

by John Ryan, May 3, 2026

"Tribal officials say their habitat projects will help people as well as #salmon the next time floodwaters rise.

"With restored #floodplains, more of the #StillaguamishRiver's destructive surges can spread out and dissipate before causing harm.

"The Stillaguamish Tribe built a new levee last year, farther back from the river, before removing the old levee.

" 'By giving the river more space, we are reducing the damage and the expense to society to maintain infrastructure. It's cheaper to maintain if you stay further away,' Griffith says."
