Information We Collect
Server logs
Web servers automatically record connection metadata — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for diagnostic purposes and are not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies
This site sets a single functional cookie named oak_cookie_consent to remember whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie notice. No analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies are set. The consent cookie expires after 365 days.

When you submit the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and phone number (if provided). This information is used solely to respond to your message and is not shared with third parties.
How We Use Information
- To respond to contact form submissions.
- To maintain server security and diagnose technical problems.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information. We do not use information collected on this site for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Content
Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, Wikimedia's servers receive your IP address and browser information. Wikimedia's privacy policy governs those requests and is available at foundation.wikimedia.org.
External links on this site point to government resources (Natural Resources Canada, BC Ministry of Forests) and research organisations. We do not control the privacy practices of those sites.
