Possible copyvio?[edit]

I don't know Canadian law so a big question mark here but the text is straight copy from the Purpose Statement. I added that link under Ref section. Sorry I could not be more helpful woth this one. Marcia Wright (talk) 04:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken out a couple of peacockeries - "turbulent part of the Juan de Fuca Strait", which is an odd construction anyway, and the "unique" qualifier on the stand of Garry oaks. Such writing is too-typical of ecological promotion as well as thesis-writing and should be attacked with a weed-whacker for the puffery that it is (also un-scientific in tone).Skookum1 (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
