Kahshe Heritage Lands

This committee was created to “work with the Muskoka Heritage Foundation to preserve designated lands around Kahshe and Bass Lakes , to look for available shoreline that could be better protected in a land trust to look for alternate methods of encouraging private land owners to conserve their shoreline properties in their natural state."

Goals

• To coordinate activities with the Muskoka Heritage Foundation.
• To understand what properties are sensitive and should be priorities and to assess what options are available to the KLRA Board.
• To encourage private land owners to consider the benefits of setting aside a proportion of large shoreline properties to be conserved in their natural state in perpetuity

Strategies

• Identify and apply the strategies of the Muskoka Heritage Foundation to Kahshe and Bass Lakes.
• Analyse the Lake Study to decide what properties are sensitive.
• Carry out a study to understand the various options that exist.
• Identify owners of large lots.
• Pursue mutual information sharing on options that may be available to achieve the objective of maintaining them in their natural state.
• Organize an information workshop for any interested residents, targeting especially those residents with undeveloped shorelines.
