Shan Walshe: The Conscience of Quetico Few people have been as intimately associated with Quetico, or have worked harder to preserve it, than Naturalist Shan Walshe. For seventeen years, Shan actually lived in the park with his family at French Lake, and spent every available hour in the wilds. He had a limitless curiosity that led him to explore. He once wrote, "The park's sparkling waters, mysteriously pictographed cliffs and vast natural forests are the essence of northern wilderness. Encountering these natural features in an isolated setting, I often experience the exhilaration of an explorer who has come upon them for the first time." Today, on the anniversary of his death, he is remembered for his love of nature, and equally for his love of sharing what he had learned. To walk with Shan, was to escape the daily frustrations and immerse yourself in the wilds on Quetico. Shan Walshe Lake was named after him in 1992. Ontario Parks Ontario Parks NW
