Batchawana Island, located 45 kilometres north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., is set to be acquired by the Nature Conservancy of Canada for $7.2 million
“The impact of conserving Lake Superior’s largest privately owned island cannot be understated,” Kaitlin Richardson, the Nature Conservancy’s northern Ontario program director, wrote in a statement.
Acheson owns several parcels of land in Ontario’s Algoma District and listed Batchawana Island for sale in February 2022, the Nature Conservancy said. Richardson said the Nature Conservancy competed with cottage developers and logging operations for the island but eventually won out. The island’s 27 kilometres of shoreline includes features ranging from sand beaches to cobblestone and rock cliffs and provides habitats for 36 provincially significant birds, Richardson said.
