The Tofino Botanical Gardens has entered a new phase of life. In 2021, the 10-acre site was sold to the IPCA Innovation Program – a project of MakeWay Charitable Society – and renamed the Clayoquot Campus. The unique space, established in 1997, has shifted to a focus on supporting Indigenous-led conservation.
The Naa’Waya’Sum Gardens and Little Costa Rica Cafe are closed for the season. We invite you to come by for a visit, witness the live carving of totem poles, explore the trails, sip a hot drink on the patio, and learn about Nuu-chah-nulth art and culture in the near future.
The IISAAK Learning Lodge (formerly the Ecolodge) is an educational space that includes accommodation for those participating in on-site classes and programs. The focus of all educational programs is Indigenous-led conservation with specific attention to Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs).
The IISAAK Learning Lodge is a place where organizations, business and indivuduals to host educational programs related to indigenous-led conservation. The Lodge is not currently available for bookings. Please stay tuned as more information becomes available.
