Get into Nature with WildED

The Wilderness Education Program was initiated in 1996 by Lisa Baile and the late John Clarke (BC’s legendary explorer, mountaineer and wilderness educator) to provide urban youth with the opportunity to experience BC’s wilderness and to develop the next generation of earth stewards. In early 2003, as per the wishes of John Clarke, BC Spaces for Nature adopted the Wilderness Education Program to ensure the continuation of John’s legacy. Today, the WildED Team is made up of dedicated program staff, advisors, educators, and volunteers who are deeply committed to reconnecting young people to wilderness.

VISION
To develop WildED as a scalable, replicable, professional program that provides both educational rigour as well as catalytic experiences for young people to not only create awareness, enthusiasm, and curiosity, but to also inspire action and the desire to discover, care for and experience BC’s wilderness first-hand.
