In 2003, the @ConserveGaliano purchased the Great Beaver Swamp & surrounding forest, protecting one of the island's largest wetlands forever. The @IslTrustConserv and @HabitatAcqTrust hold a conservation covenant on the 18 hectare reserve, adding a second layer of protection. 👏
This is the 10th @uvic restoration field course in partnership with the @ConserveGaliano.
