Workin hard for that evening meal 💪

Have you heard the iconic woodpecker call? It's a high-pitched chatter that sounds like giggling. So if you're out camping and hear what sounds like a threatening, formless child-doll come to life and laughing at you from the trees - you're all good, it's just the pileated woodpecker.

"And the best part? There is always something new to discover. Wildwood changes dramatically throughout the year, and each season brings different plants, colour, wildlife and ecological stories of the forest."

Sound on for 20 counters clicking all at once!! 🛎️

Wildwood's first of two public bat counts is in the books!
We took a relaxed stroll through our trails and stopped here and there to learn about BC's bats, their life cycles and behaviours, and the different barriers they face.

We'll see a new crew next week, for round two 🦇🦇

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming the KiKi Nursery team to Wildwood for a workshop on the Miyawaki urban restoration technique! This is a dense-planting Japanese method designed to accelerate growth and maximize positive ecological impact. The participants will also have the chance to continue their learning directly on a restoration plot at Kiki Nursery.

Thank you to Gabrielle and her team, and to our great participants!
