The Staying Connected Initiative seeks to connect landscapes for communities of wildlife and people.

How do we do this? We work with municipalities, individuals, and partner organizations to maintain, enhance and restore landscape connections across our region.  While wildlife habitat is our primary focus, we seek to collaborate with those interested in maintaining a healthy landscape for related purposes as well, such as the forest products industry, recreation (hunting, hiking, fishing), tourism, and others.  By tailoring our efforts to each community’s needs, interests, and values, we offer a variety of tools and support.  These may include:

  • Raising awareness about local natural history, wildlife needs and movement patterns, and community land-based concerns through community events
  • Identifying local wildlife movement areas and improving key wildlife road crossings
  • Assisting landowners interested in protecting or managing their land for the benefit of wildlife and other natural resources
  • Providing technical assistance to municipalities interested in maintaining landscape connections
  • Have another idea?  Please let us know if you have a way to help wildlife and protect community values at the same time!
