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. About 100 individuals are now 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.

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. See our growing list of restoration projects and places to visit.
