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 is now closed for the season as we undertake some exciting renovations. Please stay tuned for our grand reopening in Summer 2024. We can’t wait to invite you back for a visit to explore the trails and learn about Nuu-chah-nulth art and culture. As of Monday, September 25th we will be closed.
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).
