The Rainy Lake Conservancy is a registered Canadian charity based in Fort Frances, Ontario. Its purpose is to preserve and protect Rainy Lake and the surrounding watershed. Conservancy members accomplish this through science and research, education and community involvement, and land protection. Science and research Good decisions on conservation and land protection are based on good science. The Rainy Lake Conservancy sponsored the first biodiversity inventory on the Canadian side of Rainy Lake. Every summer members participate in a growing number of water monitoring projects. In addition, the Conservancy is supporting fish research in the watershed, believing that a healthy fishery is an indicator of a healthy lake. Education and community involvement At local events throughout the year, the Rainy Lake Conservancy is a strong advocate of good shoreline stewardship. Members distribute conservation literature on shoreline management, on responsible fishing practices, on invasive species identification and control, and on land protection options. Land protection Land can be protected through a variety of ways: conservation easements, covenants, deed restrictions, donations of land to conservation organizations, and good stewardship. |
