Humans like to travel and — surprisingly — so do large mammals, like Alice the moose. She made her way from the Adirondacks in New York state, across the St. Lawrence and even the 401, up to Algonquin Park, along what’s known as a wildlife corridor. Emily Conger of the Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaborative talks to Pamela Stagg about Alice, the importance of wildlife corridors, and working on two sides of the Canada/US border.
