AHC has received $130,000 in funding through the Government of Canada’s Natural Heritage Conservation Program towards its recent acquisition of the Ebare Tract.

Autumn Glory Guided Hike 30 SEPTEMBER 2023 

Located 40 km north of Sault Ste Marie, this 332 acre parcel of land completes the Algoma Highland Conservancy’s acquisition of the entire western portion of the King Mountain massif. This land, formerly owned by Lorny and Julie Ebare, was recently purchased by the AHC to bring our landholdings to over 3,300 acres. Robertson Cliffs, King Mountain, and now the Ebare Tract, provide key habitat for migratory birds, including the threatened Canada warbler, who cross the Great Lakes and nest in the mixed forests of maple-yellow birch forests. This combined protected area provides habitat to both globally, federally and provincially designated species at risk including the little brown bat, West Virginia white butterfly, black ash, alpine dot lichen, and yellow banded bumble bee. Our forests are secured from logging for 100 years with our carbon credit certification; current holdings including the newly acquired Ebare Tract sequester over 335,000 tons of CO₂ yearly, contributing to Canada’s net-zero emission goal by 2050. Please consider a donation to help us protect and care for the Algoma Highlands.
