The Project

Team Witty, one of the 2009 Leadership Victoria community action groups, has teamed up with the Victoria Natural History Society and Capital Regional District Parks to build a teaching shelter at Witty's Lagoon. The Shelter will be the first of its kind in the Capital Regional District Parks system: a purpose-built structure to deliver environmental educational programs in an outdoor classroom setting.

The teaching shelter at Witty's Lagoon will enable interpretive staff to enhance and diversify their programming, while allowing the Victoria Natural History Society to utilize the site to expand its mandate, developing interest in natural history, as well as studying and protecting the local flora, fauna and habitat.
