We thank Jill Robinson, Executive Director of HAT, for her support and for managing the project. Barb von Sacken, Land Acquisition Coordinator with HAT, helped arranged site visits on private lands. Alanah Nasadyk, Community & Development Coordinator of HAT, assisted with a field survey and prepared outreach materials. Colleen Long of Capital Regional District Parks organized volunteers for habitat restoration at Thetis Lake Regional Park. We much appreciated efforts by volunteers who helped with invasive plant removal from Blue-grey Taildropper habitat. A special thanks to all the landowners and managers who allowed access to their lands, checked cover objects, or otherwise participated in the study.

The overall objectives are to better understand the distribution of the slugs within the fragmented landscape of the Capital Regional District (CRD), monitor the persistence of the species at known localities, better understand habitat requirements and threats, and engage landowners and managers in stewardship.

  • Friends of Ecological Reserves Newsletter
    MARCH 1991 FRIENDS OF ECOLOGICAL RESERVES NEWSLETTER A Message from the Editor " The diversity of life forms , so numerous that we have yet to identify most of them, is the greatest wonder of this planet." E.O. Wilson, 1980 A busy winter; full of storms, snow, and controversy. Last week one of spring's first satin flowers appeared on a rocky outcrop above Thetis Lake near Victoria reinforcing the fact that it is time to publish another Friends of Ecological Reserves newsletter before spring really arrives. Your directors have been especially busy as our office manager, Peter Grant left for a four month holiday to the Far East at the beginning of January. In the meantime, we are trying to keep up with correspondance, projects, and submissions to various government committees, the Old-growth Strategy, Parks 90, and the Forest Resources Commission. So if your letter has been a little slow to be answered, you will know why. Some of us were fortunate to attend the recent ' Our Living Legacy' conference on biological diversity held at the Royal B.C. Museum.
