In 2023 GOMPS applied for a Nature-based Climate Action Grant administered by the Victoria Foundation for key infrastructure and maintenance investments for sustainability of the GOMPS Garry Oak Volunteer Nursery.
In 2024 GOMPS received a $13,000 grant to assist with Nursery costs including the erection of a secure and safe work shelter for nursery volunteers having lost 2 previous shelters due to wind, snow & storm damage.
GOMPS thanks Volunteer Susan Grant who researched shelters, arranged & supervised installation of the shelter and Volunteer Marion Nyberg for making the shelter’s accesses safe for volunteers & visitors.
The latest Nursery shelter made it through its first winter enabling volunteers to better enjoy the workparties at the Volunteer Nursery!
