Abstract
In the interest of being proactive, Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners Association, looks to preserve and maximize the sustainability of their interaction with the lake, its natural resources, and its place in the watershed system. The research in this project shows examples of government legislation and stewardship initiatives with regards to tree-cutting and preservation on privately-owned waterfront property in North America. This report is categorized into tree-cutting bylaws, native tree stewardship initiatives, examples of incentives, examples of successful partnerships and initiatives, and a study of best practices for stakeholder education and participation with regards to upland and riparian trees. Possible legislative and stewardship goals are recommended for Kennisis Lake to the Association, for contractors and realtors, and for the municipality.
