Trail Building in Clayoquot Sound
Hi PAOV,
It’s that time again! Summer is almost upon us, and that means it’s trail building season!
Our popular Clayoquot Sound Trail Building Program is gearing up for another big season. We’ve got three trips scheduled and we need your help.
Are you itching to get out into one of the healthiest, most biologically significant primordial ancient rainforests in the world? Interested in improving access to massive stands of old-growth and lending a head to an innovative First Nations conservation initiative? Then trail building is for you.
In May, June and July, we’ll be mobilizing volunteers to Meares Island in Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations Territory in the southern part of Clayoquot Sound to help upgrade and improve hiking trail infrastructure in Wah-nuh-jus – Hilth-hoo-is (Meares Island) Tribal Park. This project is part of our ongoing partnership with the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, one we’re proud to continue.
This spring/summer, trail building trips are scheduled for:
- May 29 - June 1
- June 19 - 22
- July 10 - 13
The trips will require some backcountry camping experience, appropriate gear and moderate physical fitness.

We take 10-12 people per trip, and the spots go quickly – if you’re interested in signing up or want more information, email us!
Please note: we still have a few spots to fill on our May trip leaving THIS Friday.
Volunteer Action Meeting – THIS Wednesday, May 27th
This week, come learn about the state of Vancouver Island’s forests!
On Wednesday, May 27th at 5:30 p.m., join WC Victoria staff for an overview of our Vancouver Island forestry campaign and find out ways that you can take action and help us with this campaign.
The summer is fast approaching and this is a busy season for this campaign. In addition to our trail building trips in Clayoquot Sound (see above), we’re thrilled to be leading several guided hikes and trail maintenance trips, including an upcoming trip to Koksilah Grove on June 5th!
We host our regular Volunteer Action Nights on the last Wednesday of every month from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at our Victoria office (#202, 3 Fan Tan Alley). Snacks are provided.
