Friday, September 14th, 2012

This week-long holiday will take place at Wildwood Eco-forest on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It offers visitors spectacular scenery and a chance to truly enjoy nature. Wildwood is now widely recognised as a model for eco-forestry and has become a learning site for those wanting to gain skills in eco-forestry.

The holiday: Participants will get a chance to absorb some of the history, see and stay in the Wildwood Eco-forest and participate in the building of a work/picnic shelter from scratch. This structure will be utilised by visiting classes and future work crews. The accommodation is in tents and participants will experience the thrill of living outdoors with an outdoor �kitchen� set-up. Leisure activities may include swimming and games and participants are encouraged to bring musical instruments.

Meeting point: A TLC staff member will meet participants upon arrival at Victoria International Airport on the start day Monday 10 September 2012 at 12 noon and transfer participants by van to the work site.

Accommodation: For the first 6 nights accommodation is camping, on site, in two-person tents unless a special request is made in advance of the holiday for a one-person tent. Due to the nature of the location facilities are very basic. One shower and one toilet are provided in separate outside buildings. The final night will be in a hotel in Victoria.

Bedding: Single air mattresses and ground sheets are provided. Participants must bring their own sleeping bag but these can be provided if requested in advance of the holiday.

Cost: $468.75 + HST
