• Clayoquot Field Station at Tofino Botanical Gardens

• Clayoquot Alliance for Research, Education and Training (CLARET) This was a SSHRC/CURA project, 2001-2004, organized as a partnership between the University of Victoria and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust. The project team developed a formal “Standard of Conduct for Research in Northern Barkley and Clayoquot Sound Communities” (June 2003) to guide research institutions/personnel coming to the region. It also developed a metadatabase with links to government documents about Clayoquot Sound (since 1984) and various data resources in the region. The metadatabase drew upon the work of the former Long Beach Model Forest (to 2002), with additional material from an inventory of university-based research in the region. The project co-sponsored workshops and symposia (2001-2003) and consulted widely on community concerns which academic research could address.
