Help Us Win the Battle Against Alien Species
Restore endangered Garry oak ecosystems by removing invasive plants that threaten them, such as Scotch broom and spurge-laurel.
Restricted to the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and two small areas in the Fraser Valley, Garry oak ecosystems are some of the rarest in Canada. They are home to over 100 rare and endangered species, 11 of which are present in Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site and adjacent properties.
Restoration volunteering is a great way to build your resume, learn about native species and restoration, meet friendly people and enjoy the great outdoors! So come one, come all and volunteer with us throughout the year.
