A good boost for ecoforestry site

A Gaming Grant has given a boost to Wildwood.
That’s the late Merv Wilkinson’s world-renowned ecoforestry site just north of Ladysmith in the Yellowpoint area.
Kathy Code says the Ecoforestry Institute Society has held the Wildwood site for about a year now and thanks to a 65,000 dollar grant some improvements can be made on the homestead…..
She says the plan is to turn it into an educational facility that will offer tours and accommodation.
