BayNiche Conservancy intends to model responsible private land stewardship and land use appropriate to a somewhat remote stretch of  Lake Superior watershed which has great visual amenity thanks to the iconic majesty of its landscape and minimally impacted forest and  wetland ecosystems.  The wilderness allure of the region is the foundation for a sustainable eco-tourism industry supporting many small  businesses from artists to watercraft operators and builders.

This private conservation initiative provides a natural buffer for the neighbouring Living Legacy wilderness designation park to the  North and mitigation of the highway influences on Lake Superior on the West.  This is a power line free area.

BayNiche Conservancy's primary goal has been to protect the water quality of Lake Superior using a watershed approach and by raising  public awareness of the urgent need to act on an individual as well as governmental level.

As certified participant in the Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network has identified and seasonally samples three "reference condition" streams on its protected property and  has participated in public education out-reach to provide landowners with the tools to document  the "baseline" condition of their own  streams with a view to allowing them to better manage and defend their right to clean water and the biodiversity it supports.

BayNiche Conservancy supports stream and wetland projects recovery such as those which restored Manitoulin streams and objects to continued degradation of wetland complexes and wanton destruction of a carefully nurtured stewardship ethic.

The pages of this web will be both a showcase for the artist's work as well as a celebration of the beauty of Lake Superior's Eastern shores.
