The Algoma Highlands Conservancy is thrilled to announce that our application to Species at Risk Stewardship Fund (SARSF) was successful! Support from this grant will allow us to continue in our collaborative wood turtle research project, involving the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Canadian Forest Service, and local power distribution and transmission companies – Hydro One, Great Lakes Power Transmission and Algoma Power Inc. The project is aimed at protecting wood turtles, an endangered species in Ontario, and their critical habitat.

Assistance for this project was provided by the Government of Ontario
