Ecological Restoration

Before

"Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed." The Society for Ecological Restoration International Science & Policy Working Group. 2002. The SER Primer on Ecological Restoration.

During

Early European explorers to British Columbia's South Coast noted the mild climate, parkland settings, bounteous resources on land and sea and the presence of First Nations peoples throughout the region.

After

Colonists brought with them an intensive and exploitative approach to land use. Agriculture, logging, mining, fishing and urbanization continue to transform the South Coast, which is now one of the most densely populated regions in Canada. Today, land protection alone can not ensure the conservation of an ecosystem's health.

The Galiano Conservancy Association is developing and applying restoration methods to conserve biodiversity and preserve ecological integrity on some of Galiano Island's protected lands.

The Conservancy is currently working on the following restoration projects:

Terrestrial Restoration

Aquatic Restoration

Marine Restoration

Native Plant Nursery

Exotic Species Removal on Galiano
