exert from (PDF document) 'Restoration in South Woods Fall 2013 - University of Victoria':

The South Woods, located at the University of Victoria, is one of the last remaining natural areas on campus, and is frequented by students, faculty, and community members. This valuable ecosystem acts as a refuge for many animals, and has significant capabilities in its water management services. Restoration within the South Woods:

• augments the services provided by this forested area
• create an engaging learning environment for students and
• improve the function of these ecosystems that act as an important foundation for the persistence of native flora and fauna.

The South Woods has so much to offer to university facilities and participants, and is invaluable in the many services it can provide for us.
