| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this student-led project was to restore the UVic Garry Oak Meadow ecosystem through participation efforts from the UVic Ecological Restoration Club (ERC). Restoration activities were based on a 5-year plan for the site created by project leader, Larissa Bron. The overarching restoration goal of this project was to support the understory plant community, while also connecting students with experiential learning opportunities within the campus living laboratory, and provide a node for the greater community to engage with UVic's sustainable programming. The project executed multiple invasive species management trials in a conservation-concern ecosystem on campus. A tool respository was developed with equipment to empower the UVic Ecological Restoration Club (UVic ERC) to continue restoration efforts after the project end date. The project has involved at least 20 students in higher-level planning and monitoring for the project, as well as hundreds of people participating in implementing restoration techniques. To join the restoration club for campus restoration events, you can email nature@uvic.ca. You can also help contribute to long-term monitoring by joining the UVic Garry Oak Ecosystem Restoration iNaturalist project. | |
