The Conservation action Planning project in the Frontenac Arch Biosphere area is moving into the action stage. On March 4, 2021, the A2A Collaborative hosted a workshop on Invasive Species control to explore potential actions within the FAB. Stakeholders heard presentations from Invasive Species organizations on both sides of the border, shred experiences and challenges, and discussed what an invasive species action would look like.

Connecting lands and people across the Algonquin to Adirondacks region,
a critical corridor for ecological integrity and resilience

WHAT IS A2A?

The Algonquin to Adirondacks (A2A) region is a unique diverse bioregion that connects Algonquin Park to Adirondack Park through the Frontenac Arch and surrounding lands. Home to a vast array of plants and animals, it is one of the last large-scale, intact forest and wetland linkages left in Eastern North America. It provides the best remaining potential for wildlife movement across the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system.

The A2A collaborative is a U.S., Canadian, and First Nations partner organization that works with scientists, policy-makers, conservationists, communities, governments, and other local groups to protect and enhance the unique ecological features and functions of the corridor. Our dream is a resilient, ecologically connected A2A region that sustains a full range of native wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.
