Hundreds of hiking trails and canoe routes, 28 national parks, more than 600 provincial parks and scores of wildlife refuges and wilderness areas seek to preserve what remains of Canada's wild lands, and provide an opportunity to escape from the stresses of modern society. International television host Anne Martin invites you to experience this vast and various land and to reconnect with nature. Here in these spectacular environments, wildlife enthusiasts are attracted by the eagles, seals, beaver, elk, moose and the many birds and migratory fowl that make the country their home; while lovers of hiking and camping strengthen their spiritual relationship with the earth and the beauty of nature.
