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
August 7th-13th is A2A Board Trail Week! Each day, some of our board members will be hiking, biking, and paddling different segments of the A2A trail. The week will finish off with a work-planning event on August 13th where A2A board members and some folks from the National Parks Service (NPS) will be working to discern our organization's priorities for the near future. The NPS will be assisting us through an NPS - Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance grant we secured earlier this year, which will bring their expertise into our effort. Stay tuned to our social media that week to see what our board members are up to and get a first-hand look at what it's like to hike the A2A Trail!
