This RIG works to raise the protection level of priority sites. The goal is to establish a network of protected areas representative of the full diversity of Garry oak and associated ecosystems throughout their geographic range in Canada. The network needs to be of sufficient size, ecological integrity and continuity to sustain essential ecosystem characteristics over the long term.
