We Saved<br />

Cottonwood <strong>Lake</strong>!<br />

Celebrate a Community Taking Action <strong>–</strong><br />

October 8, 2022, Cottonwood<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Regional Park<br />

Four years in the making and we have<br />

finally done it. We have saved Cottonwood<br />

<strong>Lake</strong>. With your incredible support, we successfully<br />

raised just under $650,000 which<br />

supported the purchase of 49 hectares of<br />

mature forest slated to be logged. Over 1,000<br />

different individual donors, from families to<br />

businesses, locals, non-locals, and everyone<br />

in between, helped us reach our goal of protecting<br />

Cottonwood <strong>Lake</strong> so it can remain<br />

wild.<br />

So, you’re all aware,<br />

$400,000 went to the<br />

land purchase with the<br />

remainder going to<br />

endowment fees, surveys,<br />

and operational costs that<br />

all contribute to Cottonwood’s<br />

future.<br />

Thanks to a passionate<br />

group of volunteers<br />

and a giving, creative,<br />

motivated community<br />

behind them, the wilderness<br />

above Cottonwood<br />

<strong>Lake</strong>—home to a variety<br />

of plants and animals—<br />

has been protected.<br />

Forever.<br />

Over the past year,<br />

the work of the Cottonwood<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Preservation<br />

Society (CLPS) has been<br />

focused on the transition<br />

of lands to be protected<br />

in perpetuity. The money<br />

the CLPS raised was<br />

passed to the RDCK, who<br />

became the on-title owners<br />

of the property.<br />

From there, the CLPS<br />

continued to work with<br />

the RDCK to transfer<br />

the land to the Nature Conservancy of Canada<br />

(NCC). Supported by the funds raised by<br />

CPLS for an endowment, NCC<br />

will manage and protect the<br />

property’s important ecological<br />

features. It’s taken some time,<br />

but we’re happy<br />

to report that the<br />

mature, forest ecosystem<br />

above our<br />

beloved Cottonwood<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> will be<br />

protected from any<br />

type of development<br />

for generations<br />

to come.<br />

To celebrate the<br />

closing of the Save<br />

Cottonwood campaign,<br />

and to recognize<br />

the many<br />

of you who donated your time,<br />

your creativity, your energy, and<br />

your money to Save Cottonwood,<br />

we’re throwing a shaker.<br />

Join us on Saturday October 8<br />

th , 2022, at Cottonwood <strong>Lake</strong> between<br />

12 p.m. and 4 p.m. as we unveil our new<br />

donor kiosk, and officially celebrate<br />

the closure of this amazing story of a<br />

small community rising to a very big<br />

challenge. Check our website (savecottonwood.com)<br />
