Mandate and Mission
Mandate:
Our mandate includes education and hands-on demonstrations of ecologically sound practices related to lakes and lakeshores. GAMIING works with individuals, community groups and other interested parties to further understanding of and participation in practices that balance human needs with the needs of wildlife and natural lake ecosystems.
We also advocate for stewardship of natural resources through collaboration with partners and other community groups. Stewardship in this context is the wise use of our natural resources and care of these resources for future generations by communities who understand the importance and are actively engaged.
Our Mission Statement:
To share the enjoyment and importance of living in harmony with nature by providing educational experiences to engage the community in:
•balancing human needs with the needs of nature in our everyday lives
•discovering plants, animals and water life
•becoming stewards of our water, land and air
•working towards a sustainable ecosystem for future generations
GAMIING operates from a 100-acre property with a natural shoreline, surrounded by wetlands, forests and meadows. A Conservation Easement has been placed upon the land and put in Trust with the Kawartha Heritage Conservancy to preserve it in perpetuity as a dynamic natural venue to which the public is invited to relax, reflect and participate in interactive demonstrations of low-impact and zero-impact lakeshore living.
