Couchiching,
In this month’s newsletter we say so long, but not goodbye, to our friend and bookkeeper Kathy Connor who is retiring after over 20 years with the Conservancy.
Our most exciting news this month was the official opening of the Leida and Roman Marley Nature Reserve on the Black River, which I had the great pleasure of attending.
I left the Marley’s cottage with a belly full of traditional Estonian food and a warm heart. Not wanting the experience to end, some of us paddled up the Black River to Ragged Rapids, passing through Marley, Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park, and Ron Reid Nature Reserve – an almost continuous stretch of Canadian Shield wilderness that is now protected forever.
On the paddle back, all felt right with the world – a rare feeling in 2022.
We hope you enjoy these stories highlighting the best of humanity.
