The WILDLANDS

The wilderness has often been associated with the unknown, at times both feared and revered. This "back country", or hinterland, as it's been termed, was the inland region behind a port. On some historical maps it was simply labelled terra incognita -- Latin for "unknown land." Early cartographers would even designate such regions with the fanciful warning --"Here be dragons".

"The WILDLANDS" provides a rare glimpse into the mystery and raw beauty of some of Canada's wilderness regions. Gathered from different wilderness tracts hundreds of miles apart, these recordings take you to the wild lands just beyond civilization and then even deeper into the untamed and undiscovered wild.

Recorded in the two provinces of Ontario and Quebec, this album highlights three distinct wilderness regions: Kipawa in central Quebec, Hastings County in Eastern Ontario and Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park in South-Central Ontario.

Kipawa in central Quebec is an outpost to the great Quebec wilderness stretching into the far north. Deep lakes and unbroken forests are typical of this region. Hastings County contains within it vast wetlands including the Lingham Lake area which is key to southeastern Ontario's watershed and is a habitat for a wide variety of migratory birds. Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provicial Park is the largest tract of undisturbed wilderness in South-Central Ontario and home to many rare species of flower, fauna including bear, moose. deer, lynx and many other wilderness animals.
