Tracking John
The Journey to Create the Eastern Wildway Continues.
Our favorite wild places are shrinking. We have stopped wildlife in their tracks with nowhere to go. Protection through connection is the answer to saving them. John Davis, our one of our most influential conservationists, has taken an incredible 7,600-mile trek through what can be America's Eastern Wildway -- connected habitat stretching from the Florida Everglades to Canada’s Gaspe Peninsula. The TrekEast journey will not end until the Eastern Wildway is connected.
