	Catching the Spirit 2005
		Pacific Spirit is actually a safe park but because of its large size, it is still necessary to send out a number of groups to go patrolling around frequently.
		Things that we would note are things such as a fallen tree or a beginning of an illegal trail, all done in order to ensure the safety of the park users and the enjoyment of their experience here at Pacific Spirit.
		Not letting my imagination run wild, I reminded myself that the Park is really rather safe and point out to myself the various native species that I know of as to assure myself that I am not walking in some foreign forest.

	Reed's City Beat Jan 24/2002
		The disproportion of parks on Vancouver's Westside compared to the city's Eastside is of absurd dimensions.
		The park is within walking distance to the largest public beach and the largest park in the City park system (English Bay Beach and Stanley Park).
		Many of the residents in the area of the park, according to the Vancouver Courier's Naiobh O'Connor, 'bought property on the basis [that] a park was in the works.' The park should thus be seen as part of the real estate speculation and developments in the area.

	Environmental Sciences Program
		Over the past 80 years, Camosun Bog, located in Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, has undergone rapid succession away from a bog ecosystem and towards a western hemlock forest.
		As the key element for the existence and maintenance of bogs is a stable, high water table that maintains low soil pH, oxygen, and nutrients preferred by bog vegetation, the loss of bog habitat is predominately a result of low summer water levels caused by development in the area.
		The Camosun Bog Restoration Group (CBRG), with support from GVRD Parks Staff, believe that preserving and restoring the Camosun Bog ecosystem is a valuable project and that raising summer water levels is necessary to re-establish a healthy, functioning bog ecosystem.

		While the entire beach within Pacific Spirit Regional Park, clear around Point Grey, is often referred to as Wreck Beach, the large sandy area on the north side of the North Arm Breakwater at the base of Trail 6 is what most think of when they talk about Wreck Beach.

	Shoot coyotes if necessary: Owen. Vancouver Sun, July 12, 2001
		Owen's proposal to relocate or kill urban coyotes is at odds with the management approach of Co-Existing With Coyotes, a public education program funded by the city of Vancouver, the park board and the B.C. government.
		The existing city and provincial policy for managing urban coyotes is to remove or kill only aggressive coyotes — the wild animals that lose their fear of humans after becoming dependent on human food sources.
		He said he favours a proposal by Councillor Sandy McCormick and the park board to hire a deputy wildlife control officer to handle complaints of aggressive wildlife in the city.

		Pacific Spirit Regional Park is a large tract of forest on the edge of the UBC campus, and includes Camosun Bog at it's eastern edge.
		The whole park has experienced considerable human disturbance, largely in the form of logging 50-120 years ago, and also altered drainage and land fill in and around the bog site.
		We will explore Camosun Bog and some of the drier forest nearby, focusing on the history of the bog and ongoing restoration efforts, and the history of disturbance in the forest.
