The Land Between

The Land Between is an extraordinary organization delivering a multitude of projects and spanning a wide landscape, striving for bioregionalism:. Bioregionalism is a holistic and animate approach to conservation: It encompasses and honours all the relationships that exist between and across features, but also sectors. It understands that a region, from the land to the people, are interdependent and interrelated, and that each is unique in its patterns and character. Bioregionalism is based on the knowledge that Nature informs Culture and which fosters the Economy and Wellbeing of people.
 
The Land Between serves the unique eco-tone between the Canadian Shield and the Great Lakes Ecoregion. It extends from the Frontenac Arch in the east to southern Parry Sound in the west, essentially north of and parallel to Highway 7 in the south and skirting under the Algonquin Dome in the north. This area runs more than 240
kilometres east to west and 50 – 100 kilometres in width. It is home to a wide range of biodiversity; acts as a sanctuary for species north and south of it; and is an
important reservoir of water draining to Georgian Bay to the west, Lake Ontario and the St lawrence River to its south, and the Ottawa River to the east. You can visit The land between at www.thelandbetween.ca.
