Visit this unique property and get a sense of Merv Wilkinson life at Wildwood forest on the edge of Quennell Lake.

The main focus of this holiday will be on repairing the old wood shed next to Merv�s house. There will be a few other options to choose from as well (gardening around Merv�s house, trail maintenance, blackberry removal etc.).

We will also have the opportunity to explore the forest and look at the thought and work that has gone to make this forest the unique and special place it is.

Work Tasks:

We will be repairing the wood shed on the Wildwood property. We may also have time to do some gardening around the main house, trail maintenance and removal of invasive plant species throughout the property.

All required tools and materials will be provided, however, if you have a tool belt, hammers, loppers, pruners, clippers, or weed removal tools that you may prefer to use, please bring them. Gloves would be helpful too.
