NCC Looks to Acquire Vital Bay Forest on Manitoulin Island
The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is in the process of acquiring 7,608 hectares (18,800 acres) on Manitoulin Island at Vidal Bay, making it one of the largest projects the NCC has taken on in Ontario.
This ecologically significant land, when combined with nearby and adjacent conservation lands will become a protected complex of 250 square kilometres (24,860 hectares/61,435 acres), conserving 86 kilometres of Great Lakes shoreline.
