Our blog http://urbanecologistcanada.blogspot.com has published numerous stories about urban ecology, mainly about James Bay in Victoria and especially Ogden Point. Our enthusiasm for what Ogden Point has to offer inspired us to write a book about the natural history, people and activities of this amazing place. It is 150 pages with over 130 photographs and 2 maps. It includes a chapter describing our restoration walk around James Bay and numerous underwater photographs generously provided by local divers.

Retail cost is $14.95 (plus shipping/handling). To order, contact us at urbanecologycanada@gmail.com. Get free shipping and handling if you mention you saw it here!
