Research in Parks

Did you know many schools, universities and colleges regularly perform research in our parks? 

You may come across people collecting items, counting things, testing the ground, mapping the area and more! This work is done with permission and a permit is issued.

Do you have a study you would like to conduct in a Saanich Park? Check out the information we need to approve reserach in a park.
