Program Description:

This park encompasses 50 of the 30,000 glacial sculpted granite islands that are scattered about this part of Lake Huron. On a kayaking expedition, naturalist Sue Ellen Fast discovers that each has its own distinct personality as a result of it's size, remoteness from land, and luck - the islands were colonized by seeds that arrived from the mainland via wind, wing, or water. For example, the remoteness of one small island makes it a perfect spot as a gull nursery and it's full of babies. Beausoleil, the largest island, is a fascinating transition zone between two bio-regions where many amphibians and reptiles make their home, including the endangered Eastern Massasauga rattler which she see close-up.
