Wilderness Conservation in Action: Three Rivers Update

This WCA interactive zoom session will feature a joint presentation by John McDonnell (Executive Director, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Ottawa Valley Chapter), and Wally Schaber (Head Volunteer, Friends of Rivière du Moine) giving an overview of the Three Rivers project led by CPAWS, to create a large environmentally protected area in the watersheds of the Dumoine, Coulonge, and Black rivers (adjacent to the Ottawa River in west-central Quebec), and the related creation of wildlife corridors linking protected areas across regions, as well as specific measures to support wilderness recreation on the Dumoine. Session participants will gain an appreciation of what's involved and what's at stake with respect to expanding the protection of wilderness areas.
