Eastern woodlands

The wilderness in our backyard

From Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park to the Atlantic shores of the Maritime Provinces, Canada's Eastern Woodlands carpet the ancient ridges of the southern Canadian Shield and the Appalachian Mountain range, and roll down onto the coastal plains of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Our goals

• Protect great wild spaces, creating 3,000 km2 of new protected areas by 2010

• Connect critical wildlife corridors so large mammals like lynx and moose have room to roam

• Protect wild Atlantic Salmon rivers
