Connecting lands and people across the Algonquin to Adirondacks region​

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 and a variety of conservation groups to protect and enhance the unique ecological features and functions of the A2A region.
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. 

We invite you to explore this site to learn about the A2A Trail -- a Pilgrimage for Nature, Eco-passageways across highways, partner initiatives, and conservation resources such as connectivity mapping.

Recent news

The A2A Collaborative and Blazing Star Environmental have just launched an iNaturalist project to record wildlife observations on County roads in Leeds & Grenville! The project can be accessed here.

We've started conducting road surveys as part of a study that aims to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. We'll be using iNaturalist to record our observations and encourage you and other interested parties to do the same. This project is primarily focused on turtles, snakes, and species at risk, but we welcome observations of all organisms in close proximity to County roads. Using iNaturalist will allow our data to be easily accessed by other researchers in the area, encourages participation by local naturalists and other interested people, and provides a strong foundation for a related citizen science project that we hope to conduct next year.

We're looking for wildlife observations directly on County roads, associated road shoulders, and adjacent habitat (e.g., within 30-50 m of roads). County roads are fairly well-signed. If you're not sure if you're on a County road, please still upload your observation. It will help inform subsequent studies in the area. Thank you for your participation!
