Two summers ago, I was invited to go hiking with the Flathead Wild Team in Akamina Kishenina Provincial Park. Harvey Locke was the trip leader and we went there to explore Harvey's dream of expanding 100,000 acres of protected land into the BC Flathead. This additional land protection would be joined to Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
One day we hiked Akamina Ridge, which is a lovely exposed ridge, a transboundary region, that borders Glacier National Park's North Fork Valley in Montana and the Provincial Park in BC. To read more about this region read my article in Sierra magazine (https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/green-life/us-canada-border-missing-link-wildlife-connectivity) or read about it in my upcoming book. This place deserves and needs protection as part of the Y2Y corridor to protect wide ranging carnivores.
