Garry Oak Ecosystem Flora

5/2/2018

The Garry oak ecosystem found on south east Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Washington, and Oregon is home to great floral diversity. Its famous meadows of wildflowers are only present due to controlled burns and natural fires limiting the dominance of Garry oaks. Garry oaks are the only native oak west of Manitoba in Canada. In mid-April, Oregon fawn lily, camas, and shooting stars were in bloom. Seeing these beautiful plants in the wild was a thrill!
