Wildwood EcoForestry Institute Society

Wildwood is a 77-acre ecoforest nestled along the shores of Quennell Lake just north of Ladysmith, British Columbia. It lies within the traditional territories of the Stz’uminus and Snuneymuxw Coast Salish First Nations.

A rare and unique demonstration ecoforest, Wildwood is home to a good many original Coastal Douglas-firs, representing a vanishing ecosystem once abundant on Vancouver Island. Only .5% of these forests remain. These ancient, original trees stand among a profusion of western red-cedar, bigleaf maple, flowering dogwood and arbutus trees, and bring an amazing presence to the forest, stately in their towering height and size.
