IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BRUCE TRAIL CONSERVANCY
TAKING ON INVASIVE SPECIES
The End-to-End Project
Bruce Trail Expedition
As Baffin's Senior Vice President of Commercial, for his latest adventure, Mark Hubner took on Canada's oldest footpath, the Bruce Trail, covering 900 km from Tobermory to the Niagara Region by winter's end. Each week, September through March, he braved the trail, camping in backcountry sites. Hubner's journey tested Baffin gear in extreme conditions, ensuring our products exceed expectations.

WHAT IS AN INVASIVE SPECIES?
An invasive species is one that was introduced to an ecosystem or region, from outside of that region. These species have more resiliency and less susceptibly to native diseases and insects, therefore thriving and outcompeting the native species in an ecosystem.
Why is this a threat? They replace native species and turn into a monoculture of species that are not only invasive but do not provide habitats for animals and insects within the existing ecosystem.

BAFFIN'S COMMITMENT
Baffin is proud to announce the Trail Conservancy Project in partnership with the Bruce Trail Conservancy. To prevent the spread of harmful, invasive species along Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath – Baffin has committed to building 100 co-branded boot brush stations by 2025. This adds to the existing 35 stations currently located throughout the 900 km of main trail.
