Come learn how you can be part of a lasting solution to protect the pristine valleys of Clayoquot sound.

5th Annual Wild BC Day Family Fun Campout
Whitecap Camp, in Seton Portage, near Pemberton, BC August 2, 3 & 4th
For the fifth year in a row the Wilderness Committee is inviting all of our friends to come camp with us in an endangered wilderness area. This year we are heading to a forested area of endangered spotted owl forest habitat located near Seton Portage, BC in part of the St'át'imc traditional territory.
Join us for a long weekend with a guided nature hike, swimming in Seton Lake, and learning about different campaigns to save Canada's endangered spotted owls, to protect old-growth forests and help local communities become toxin-free! You'll hear from biologists and activists about the fight to preserve Canada's most endangered bird species – and it's all going on in our wilderness backyard. Learn how you can help too.
You'll be having some big fun, meeting some great like-minded people and doing good in the world – all at the same time!
