Saanich Parks released a new field guide to inspire a passion for nature discoveries in parks close to home. This illustrated field guide highlights some of the plants and animals found in Saanich parks and the different types of ecosystems where they live. It is a visual learning tool aimed at youth, but the intent is to encourage learning and enjoyment for all park visitors. Illustrated by local artist Kristi Bridgman, the field guide captures the spirit and beauty of the unique nature that exists around us. Saanich Parks will develop resources for families and educators to use with the field guide so they can broaden their learning while experiencing these lovely places. The field guide is available at
