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 />
