BHP Map Improvement ProjectWelcome to our new interactive BHP Map! This is a work in progress. We have over 30 links on the map so far. Each link has its own dedicated web page. Each page has information, photos, videos, links & more! Some pages are still blank and need your help! Please send your suggestions for content such as text, photos and references to: info@fbhp.ca Here are some alternate maps that can be used for verification and to find additional info, photos, links, etc.

Project Status & Notes
The table below lists the status of each of the map links. They are ordered approximately from north to south.
The 'Alt text' appears when you hoover over the link. Used for accessibility and Google search indexing.
| Link | Alt Text | Notes |
| Garry Oak Meadow | Garry Oaks Meadow and ecosystem | Google maps has zero points of interest north of Good Acre Lake. Should there be? Do we need a web page that covers this entire area. What do we call this area? North West Corner? |
| Rock Garden | Rock & Alpine Garden | This web site is pretty good: Vancouver Island Alpine & Rock Garden Society. Is the map pin in the right place? |
| Heywood Ball Field | Heywood Ball Field | Is the field just for baseball. How do you reserve it for use? |

Points of Interest from the OpenStreet map
Below is a list of points of interest on the OpenStreet map that are not found on any other map. These must have been added by someone with local knowledge. I wonder who it is?
Do we add these to our map? Each would require a dedicated page ~ even if it only contains a paragraph. Hopefully with a link & photo.
