The Somenos Garry Oak Stewardship project is funded by BC Parks, The Nature Conservancy and Human Resources Development Canada. This 6 week program focuses on increasing community involvement in protecting sensitive Garry Oak habitat by educating community members, landowners and recreational users of the Somenos Garry oak woodland of its ecological significance to Species at Risk (SAR), and encouraging ecologically sound land use. By contacting neighbouring homeowners and providing ecological tours of the Somenos Garry Oak Protected Area a local stewardship group can be developed and supported to continue caring for this sensitive habitat.
