Late afternoon sun filters down through the Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystem. A rare and unique demonstration ecoforest, Wildwood is home to many original Coastal Douglas-firs—remnants of a vanishing ecosystem that once covered much of Vancouver Island. Today, less than 0.3% of these forests remain. These ancient trees stand among a profusion of western redcedar, bigleaf maple, Pacific dogwood, and arbutus, bringing an incredible presence to the forest—stately in their towering height and size. For more information on how to help protect these disappearing ecosystems, please visit ecoforestry.ca We are grateful to operate on the unceded territories of the Stz’uminus, Snuneymuxw, and Snaw-naw-as First Nations and acknowledge their deep, enduring relationships with these lands and forests.
