For over 20 years I've been collecting stories, photographs, interviews, out of print books and researching various aspects of the human history of Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada. In other words, capturing voices from the past. In the fall of 2020, I launched my podcast 'Algonquin Defining Moments' to both complement my published books but also to continue my mission of sharing stories, recollections, traditions, landmarks and other fun Algonquin Park human heritage curiosities. In this way that those who share my passion for everything Algonquin Park can listen to snippets of the park and its people while commuting, walking, cooking, working around the house or even just meditating on the back deck. Enjoy! Gaye Clemson

Episode 31: More Cool Algonquin Wildlife Station Research
This concludes a 3-part series on the history and research that is going on at the Wildlife Research Station. My focus in this episode is more recent work on moose, salamanders, Canada Jays, hemlock tree regeneration, sapsuckers and beaver as well as another wonderful collection of Wildlife Research Fun Facts.
This episode’s musical interlude comes from Sara Spring and is another of her piano compositions called Across Long Lakes and can be found at saraspringpiano.ca
For this episode in addition to my own research for my books, most of the content comes from a number of key sources including:
- Rory MacKay’s 2018 Algonquin Park A Place Like No Other
- Norm Quinn’s 2002 Algonquin Wildlife Lessons in Survival
- George Warecki’s recent books on both J. R. Dymond (2019) and Douglas Pimlott (2021).
- George Garland’s 1989 Glimpses of Algonquin
- Robert Bateman’s 2015 autobiography Life Sketches
- Various articles in The Best of the Raven newsletters Volumes 1 to 3 as well as those from 2010-2021 that are available on-line
- And of course the Wildlife Research Station official web site AlgonquinWRS.ca and selected of their published research papers and abstracts.
