"Galiano...Naturally!"
The Galiano Naturalists have produced an all-colour brochure that provides
background information about the natural history of our island, and highlights
eight outstanding and accessible natural areas that residents and visitors
can visit and enjoy. Thanks to all the volunteers who were involved in
collecting the information and images, and helped with the design and
production of the brochure. Special thanks to the Galiano Parks and Recreation
Commission for financial support to print the brochure, and to the Galiano
Conservancy Association for mapping resources.. The brochure is available
for download in two pdf files: here
(958Kb) and here (1.5Mb).
"Exploring Our Little
Corner of the World..."

Island's natural history. These articles are published in the "Active
