Solid community support built the new fire hall and provides fire fighting and first aid. Savary's mild climate creates a varied ecosystem. There are sand dunes, meadows, and forest - home to cedar, fir, hemlock, maple, yew, and arbutus. Introduced species include the ubiquitous Broom and the magnificent Acacias by the Savary Lodge. There are no bears, cougars, rats, or raccoons on Savary.
Deer are the only common large mammal while mink and otters come ashore occasionally.
There are many bald eagles and hummingbirds which summer here while owls, woodpeckers and many migratory species frequent the island. As well as clams, there are oysters, mussels, crab, and geoducks found on or near the beaches. Savary is very safe - more park than wilderness.
