On November 1st, GOMPS Board members Ryan Senechal, Carollyne Yardley and Jacklyn Jolicoeur participated in the 2025 Garry Oak Ecosystems Gathering at the University of Victoria, hosted by GOERT. GOMPS provided one of the informational displays available to visitors keen to learn more about the natural environment at our doorstep and the various organizations working to protect and support ecosystem health, especially with so many current threats. Three Garry oak seedlings grown at the nursery were collected for planting. The keynote address was made by Elder SELILIYE Belinda Claxton and Dr. Nancy Turner. With many thanks to the organizers, presenters, and participants. GOMPS looks forward to next year.
