Victoria’s Quakers’ Eco Group are making water the focus for 2011 with particular interest in ongoing creek revivals, such as Bowker Creek. Uvic is hosting ‘creek walk talks’ about our local bogs, viaduct flats and Witty’s Lagoon in October at the University. The talks are free and the walks start in February 2011.
