The first campout on Vancouver Island in 1999 brought
together over 100 environmentalists from all walks of life
for a week-long conference on the Sooke River. Since
then, Wild Earth has hosted dozens of workshops on
every aspect of forest defense, from tree-sitting
techniques to non-violence training, indigenous rights
and campaigns, herbal first aid, green anarchy, and
more. Visit our blog for info.
