Land management

One of a land trust's main functions is its management of environmentally sensitive lands. To this end the LCC's land management plan is to:

Purchase/donation recipient of important environmental land, example, Green and the Twins islands were purchased in 1998. 

Lands can be donated to be maintained in an unspoiled state in perpetuity and still be used by the owner - this also has considerable tax advantages. As a registered charity, the LCC can also accept bequests from those who wish to leave behind a legacy of environmental protection. 

Conservation easements. As of 2007, this hasn't happened, but it is the hope that some land owners will seek the LCC's help in retaining ownership of their property while protecting it from certain uses in perpetuity.

Co-operative partnerships, example, the LCC has partnered with the Township of Bonnechere Valley and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to develop a crown island management plan that will protect the natural habitat and enhance public camping.

Volunteer stewardship activities, example, groups from Mulberry Lane and Big Rock have organized to look after certain islands.
