Its where the Wild Things Are!

Explore Echo Heights

Explore the diverse animal and plant life that thrive in Echo heights. Look beneath the obvious and discover an amazing ecological micro-system of microbes, fungi, lichen and grubs and beetles. Gaze above at the life that thrives in the canopy.  Discover how the First Nations used the forest for medicine and learn to identify endangered  threatened, and invasive species.  

The Chemainus Biodiversity Education Project is a collaboration that began in 2007 between the University of Victoria through the POLIS Project and a number of interested individuals, organizations, First Nations and businesses in the Chemainus region of Vancouver Island, including Thetis and Penelakut Islands. It is completely volunteer-based. The first phase of the project from 2007-2009 involved piloting a collaborative learning model that draws on a combination of local and academic expertises and experiential learning in nature as outdoor classrooms. The project is currently in its second phase, drawing together the collective expertise shared to create user-friendly educational resources for the region.
