Join Max Mitchell and members of the HAT team for a tour of the Matson Conservation Area, the largest remaining example of a Garry Oak ecosystem still found on the Victoria Harbour waterfront. Garry Oak ecosystems are among the most threatened terrestrial ecosystems in British Columbia, and with the support of a dedicated community of volunteers, HAT has been working to restore the ecological health of this site over the past 20 years.

This tour will highlight the restoration efforts undertaken by HAT, the significance of the site and its ecosystems in lək̓ʷəŋən culture, the plant and animal biodiversity found at the Conservation Area, as well as a historical overview of the site. Conservation and restoration efforts at the Matson Conservation Area have helped to make it one of the most spectacular sections of the Victoria Harbour Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Maximum 20 registrants.
