Algoma Highlands Conservancy discovering more about wolves; three-year study attracts more interest, funding
In 2021, a group of wildlife enthusiasts from the Algoma Highlands Conservancy began a three-year program to track wolves in Algoma and compile research about the four-legged creatures.
Photographing wolves on Algoma trails, near power lines and in the forest, trapping and tagging them with GPS tracking devices before releasing them back into the wilderness, the group has discovered that wolves travel farther than what was originally thought. Ruby then swam for 500 to 1,000 metres across the Ottawa River and made it to the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve in Quebec, covering a total of 2,500 kilometres in four months.“The adventures of Ruby are completely surprising. Nobody knew that the wolves in the Great Lakes region are connected with wolf populations as far east as Quebec. We’re talking about a huge distance.”
“We started the study small but garnered interest from other groups like the Canadian Forest Service, power company Evolugen and Ontario Hydro,” Van Frankenhuyzen said.The group’s study consists of five study areas, such as the Prince Township Wind Farm, the Stokely Creek area, Garden River First Nation, Sylvan Valley and another area north of Iron Bridge.“That’s a very old school of thought that has pervaded our thinking for centuries.
