Esquimalt Lagoon Stewardship Initiative

The ELSI brochure highlights the environmental values at Esquimalt Lagoon, outlines several environmental concerns facing the lagoon, describes the Esquimalt Lagoon Stewardship Initiative and discusses the Stewardship Plan.

The Attention Residents pamphlet targets those living within the Esquimalt Lagoon watershed, describes how pollution travels through a watershed and offers tips to minimize polluted runoff from residential property.

The Attention Visitor pamphlet targets lagoon visitors and provides them with a map of the lagoon's ecological values and sensitive areas and offers tips to minimize visitor impact to the lagoon habitats and wildlife.

The ELSI annual reports summarize the work done by ELSI committee members, our partners and community volunteers, and outlines the issues that will be the focus in the upcoming year.

Created by the ELSI, this is a basic plant identification field booklet specific to the Coburg Peninsula in Colwood, British Columbia. The emphasis of this booklet is on positive plant identification through the primary use of photos rather than recognition based on pure technical wording or description. It is meant to be a user-friendly tool-on-the-fly for lay persons, rather than a kind of systematic treatise for specialists. Available for on-site volunteers.
