Made in the Okanagan and the Okanagan Geotourism Initiative are helped by activist students and people like you.
The Watershed Intelligence Network delivers Extension Services for Wildcraft Forest School. Extension Services can be described as an organized exchange of information and the deliberate transfer of skills where students apply work, research, advocacy, stewardship and problem solving within bioregions, communities and ecosystems. This effort helps to facilitate interplay and nurture synergies within a vast complex of capacity building efforts, which then enables change in individuals, communities, cooperatives and enterprise.
