Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team (GOERT)

Brighton Avenue Walkway

The pathway is part of Oak Bay’s Centennial Trail. Volunteers have been restoring these remnant patches of Garry oak habitat to a more natural aesthetic and biodiversity since early 2006. They have removed invasive Himalayan blackberry and English ivy and have planted native plants associated with Garry oak ecosystems. Volunteers meet Sunday mornings (weather permitting), 10:00 am – 11:30 am. Partners include the Native Plant Study Group, the District of Oak Bay’s Parks Department and Friends of Brighton Avenue Walkway.
