Victoria stands on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. Where known, SENĆOŦEN tree names are provided, with a link to a website where you can hear the pronounciation. SENĆOŦEN is the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ People, and a member of the North Straits Salish dialect continuum along with lək̓ʷəŋən.
The tree information is from the City of Victoria's trees dataset. We have amended and added to the data where necessary. If your tree is missing, it's most likely because it's not on public property (the city isn't keeping track of it). Check out apps like iNaturalist or PictureThis to help with identification.
