Plant a Seed, Restore the Wetland

Harbouring an intact example of the old-growth coastal Douglas-fir forests that once dominated southeastern Vancouver Island, Chase Woods is located on Mt Tzouhalem in the Cowichan Valley. The preserve is home to a number of rare species and habitat types, including the globally imperilled Garry oak plant community, as well as spectacular cliffs and important wetlands. NCC acquired the Chase Woods Nature Preserve with the assistance of the Government of Canada’s Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP), a unique public-private partnership to accelerate the pace of land conservation across southern Canada

There will be lots to do with harvesting and scattering wetland plant seeds, removing invasive species and planting poplar trees.

This is our first ever Conservation Volunteers event on this site! The event provides a special opportunity for volunteers to be a part of the radical transformation during its earliest stage.
