Welcome to the Wildcraft Forest School Extension, Canada’s leading centre for wild regeneration, this web portal represents extension work and services that the school delivers within its Sanctuary Forest Network and beyond.
At the Wildcraft Forest School we offer skills, insights and inspiration for creating good stewardship and positive change in the world. We engage our participants in transformative education that includes wild dynamics, personal empowerment, responsibility and co-mentorship. Our courses integrate experiential learning and ancient wisdom within the context of wildcrafting.
Our Extension Program is offered by the Wildcraft Forest Foundation and represents projects, tools, advocacy and services which are delivered by the school through student and volunteer engagement and through social enterprise activities which help to sustain and regenerate Wildcraft Forest School activities.
The School
The Wildcraft Forest School issues a series of certifications linked to wildcrafting, Yasei Shinrin Yoku, the ancient arts and regenerative stewardship. We also offer seasonal camps, workshops, seminars, fieldtrips and distance learning.
Sanctuary Forests
The Wildcraft Forest practices regenerative forest stewardship, which includes propagating “whole forest systems”; this includes the forest over-story and the under-story. We have created a network of Yasei Sanctuary Forests, which serve as protected forests where each is used as a base to protect and restore wild ecosystems while propagating wild and domesticated food and medicine crops in small wild dynamic gardens.
Wild Regeneration
Through volunteer efforts and through the sale of Wildcraft Forest tea, products and educational services we deliver regenerative efforts that are described by many to be “good work for the living planet, places and people”. So every time you support us, it helps us with various efforts.
Special Projects
The Wildcraft Forest School Extension Program develops projects that will expand the practice of practical wild regeneration within places and within human consciousness. Our projects attempt to support stewardship, sentience, science, spirit and sanctuary.
Research
Wildcraft Forest School Extension works with leading edge thinkers and the scientific community to deliver research based on what wildcrafters are discovering in wild habitat. We also deliver research that explores new foods, medicines, craft and restoration methods which we then incubate into micro-enterprises. Here is a sampler of some of the research that we perform.
Stories
Wildcrafting is a practice integrating local ecological knowledge, family and land history, conscious harvesting, land stewardship, activism, and storytelling all into one lovely practice. Practice may be an understatement, for Wildcrafting is a way of complete being, a framework by which to exist in the world. It is art. It is science. It is spirituality.

"The Wildcraft Forest fosters magic in our community and in our hearts. From teas, to art, to nature, to wildness, to friendships --- at the Wildcraft Forest we are given permission to explore the true nature of our being. It is a place where the land speaks to you, and a portal to where earth and spirit can easily reconnect. Take a sip of tea and meander in the forest. I promise this is a place you will not forget."
