Interactive campus biodiversity map
This publicly accessible, interactive biodiversity map shows ecosystems, trails, plants, birds, fungi, insects, mollusks, mammals and reptiles on the Royal Roads campus.
The Royal Roads campus is home to a vast diversity of species within some very unique ecosystems.
The 565 acres are an island of natural diversity in a sea of urban development: a patchwork quilt of towering old growth forests, watercolor meadows of wildflowers and stark escarpments of Garry Oak forest. With threats of development, pollution, invasive species, as well as many others, it is vital that these species and ecosystems are known so that they can have a chance at being protected.
Creative thinking, technology and teamwork
These campus biodiversity and story maps began as a final project of four students in the School of Environment and Sustainability in 2022: Jake Edwards, Hayley Houlden, Shannon Tallon and Caleb Gaeke.
