The Bog to Bog Project

The Bog to Bog Project, financed by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, creates a partnership with landowners. The main objective is to protect isolated natural zones and connect them thanks to a series of forest corridors.

The project aims to help landowners to understand how their property is a precious part of our natural landscape. The project works mainly with lands located between the Mer Bleue and Alfred Bogs, passing through Larose forest until reaching Voyageur Park, north of Highway 417.

Re-introduction of ginseng in private woodlots is one demonstration site within the network of sites in the Bog to Bog area. It offers landowners an alternative, nontraditional forest practice that has proven to be lucrative in other parts of Canada and the United States.

The Stewardship Council developed a study project and the demonstration site, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Simon Lachance from the Alfred College.
