The Garry Oak Restoration Project (GORP) is a progressive public education program designed
to educate Saanich residents about the value and sensitivity of Garry oak ecocsystems. Following a "living laboratory" approach,
selected Garry Oak ecosystems on land owned
by the Municipality of Saanich are maintained as restoration demonstration sites. The sites have
been chosen for their visibility and accessiblity.
It is GORP's goal to involve as many community
and school groups as possible.
