  • South Woods Ivy Pulls

    Ivy pulls performed on a ad hoc basis have been implemented for the last few years. The control English ivy has in the area is extensive and ongoing attention and monitoring will be needed to maintain the area.

  • Quercus Field Restoration

    In 2004, the restoration of an old field on UVic’s campus was carried out. The area is four hectares of native plants, old fields and gardens. The restoration project was an experiment to see if native plant species, more specifically Camas, would be able to succeed upon reintroduction to an area that had suffered severe disturbance. The historical disturbances to the land included tillage, haying, mowing, transplantation of trees, compaction, and drainage. The field had been planted with approximately 100 exotic plant species and a minimal amount of native plants.

  • Rough Trade

    Pieces of art are such amazing creations for the simple fact that they are truly a manifestation and pure embodiment of so many different aspects of one’s life. An art piece is like a web, it begins with the telling of a story, and as time goes on, that story grows, evolves, and cumulates. It is for this reason that public art has become such an integral part of many communities, including that of the University of Victoria. All across the campus there lives a wide array of outdoor public art pieces.

  • Old Jam Tower

    The tower overlooks Cadboro Bay at Sinclair and Haro streets. It was originally built around 1910 as a water tower for Hamsterely Farm. Owners Algernon and Letitia Pease added a steam boiler and two kettles to turn it into a jam and candy factory. Their flowers and produce also sold very well and the Pease family decided to plant more tomatoes and strawberries, produce butter and cream, and dress rabbits and chickens for the market. After being condemned and then turned into a stable, the tower and property became part of UVic in the late 1960s.

  • Community Cabbage

    The Community Cabbage is a student organization at the University of Victoria. We serve a free weekly hot meal to the campus community prepared from reclaimed food – edible but unsellable food donated by grocery stores. A crew of volunteers turn these ingredients into a healthy and delightful vegetarian meal at a community kitchen. Anyone is welcome to come cook with us and/or eat with us!
