The Ecoforestry Institute Society (EIS) is a registered non-profit, charitable society comprised of a volunteer board and a core of volunteers.  EIS is the Trustee of Wildwood Ecoforest south of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and holds and manages the 77-acre property on behalf of the people of British Columbia. We also promote the principles and practice of ecoforestry while honouring the legacy of Merv Wilkinson, the previous owner of Wildwood. We do this through the selective harvesting of trees. The wood is milled on the property and used for onsite construction and the production of value-added wood products. We also provide educational programming and opportunities for school children and students to seasoned professionals, academics, ecotourists and the general public.
