Our Partners
Our recovery program builds upon many years of dedicated effort on the part of individuals and agencies, and partnerships continue to provide the foundation of our work. Over 100 individuals have been directly involved in the Recovery Team, and dozens of government and non-government agencies are contributing time, money, and other resources to the recovery effort.

Interactive Restorations Map
In 2023, an interactive map of restoration sites was added to the GOERT website. This mapping project is created and maintained by the Restoration of Natural Systems Program and School of Environmental Studies at UVic, with financial support from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Also see the related Restorations Futures Lab.
Community Partnerships
To be effective in conserving and restoring Garry oak ecosystems throughout their range in Canada, we need to work with people in their communities. Chances are, we are working with your local land trust or conservancy, municipal and regional government, and naturalist group. Contact them or contact us to participate in Garry oak ecosystems recovery. You may be interested in helping a community group restore Garry oak habitat in your neighbourhood.
