WILDCRAFT FOREST
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The Wildcraft Forest welcomes unlimited potential as we explore ancient wisdom associated with the natural world and discover wild foods and medicines in an effort to understand how they help the human condition with both disease prevention and cures. At the same time we help humans restore and regenerate planet Earth. At the Wildcraft Forest we understand that everything is connected.
As an organization the Wildcraft Forest incubates new opportunities which are better for the planet, we function as both a Intellectual Property entity and a Production Related entity. As a Intellectual Property entity or IP – we have focused on the innovation of systems and the invention of new products and ideas which are developed in advance of productions. As a Production related entity we create methods by which we take new products and services to market.
We are now moving projects that have been within the innovation and
invention stage into production and we are seeking investors and partners who will help us turn these into successful efforts.
Currently we are seeking investors and working partners for the following initiatives within our business incubator:
Gaia Retreat Centre – Located on 3 acres of rich mixed forest, this property provides a site for a residence, workshop presentation facility and a series of yurts. This centre delivers Ayurvedic practices, events and consultation services.
Wild Plant Nursery – Located on 3 acres of meadow and forest as well as additional tenured land, this wild plant nursery includes a landscaping, treeplanting and land restoration business. The nursery includes retail and wholesale objectives and anchors the Wildcraft Forest regenerative forestry work.
Wild Microgreens Facility – Located in the Wildcraft Forest Village proper this facility dovetails with the Wild Plant Nursery and targets production associated with unique edible and medicinal microgreens which are sold into the regional market as well as wild seed products sold into the regional and international markets.
Distillery and Wild Microbe Repository – Located in the Wildcraft forest village proper and within it’s laboratory area this small footprint licensed facility produces unique wildcrafted ceremonial beverages and medicinals within limited editions and then retailing these products from both the farmgate and through distributors.
Chinese Herb and Wildcrafted Farm Incubator – Located on 4 acres plus additional leased and tenured lands this botanical farm sustains products for bulk medicinal efforts linked to wellness and Chinese herb distributors.
Since each of these initiatives is underway the investment dynamic changes with the stage of facility development so please contact us if you are interested and would like further details. We can also provide you with relocation information and opportunities whether you are located in another part of Canada or the world.

The important work we do…
- The Wildcraft Forest seeks to bridge the spiritual values of forests and watersheds with human consciousness and acts of tangible stewardship. We do this through a number of methods as follows.
- Add value to the living forest which then serves to create an alternative to logging and other forms of resource extraction.
- Regenerate Mother Trees and the natural supporting plant guilds or guardians which create both biotic and energetic balance within small ecosystems which then collectively contributes to planetary balance.
- Serve as stewards for these headwaters of the Columbia and the Shuswap Rivers and the great Inland Temperate Rainforest.
- Rewild diets and medicines so that populations can rebalance their lifestyles with energy from the northern forests.
- Educate and advocate for the protection of wild old growth forests and to regenerate new wild forests that will then become old growth forests. We represent the long view of stewardship practices.
- Educate and advocate for regenerative forests and stewardship both locally and internationally.
