Abstract
This research was conducted at the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve property with the intention of creating a suitable code of ethics for the property based on issues raised by snowmobile use in the Forest.
The author begins with a literature review of trails, trail use, snowmobiling, legislation regulating snow machine use, and codes of ethics around trail use. Research methodology, employing interviews and questionnaires with snowmobile users and groomers, is outlined and results analyzed. There is a discussion of the results, and recommendations are put forward regarding the establishment of a code of ethics. The author's proposed code of ethics is included in the report.
