With an extremely restricted ecosystem, Garry Oaks provide food and shelter to a wide variety of at-risk indigenous flora and fauna. These gorgeous trees can live to be over 200 years old when properly protected. While the name “Garry” was given by a colonial botanist in the early 1800’s to honor a friend, the SENĆOŦEN word for Garry oak used by the W̱SÁNEĆ people is ĆEṈ¸IȽĆ (pronounced chung-ae-th-ch). In Lekwungen, the word for camas and Garry oak ecosystems is kwetlal.
