Sponsor the Old Growth
Help preserve 20 acres of old growth forest, protect the watershed for endangered Texada Island sticklebacks, support sustainable cultivation, and keep the ancient art of shiitake growing alive at the edge of civilization.
Why Your Support Matters
Sustainable Cultivation
Support traditional, eco-friendly mushroom farming that works with nature, not against it. Every log is carefully selected and sustainably sourced.
Watershed Protection
Protect critical habitat for the endangered Texada Island stickleback species pairs—one of Earth's youngest and rarest fish species found in only five lakes.
Education & Knowledge
Your sponsorship helps keep courses affordable and accessible, passing on decades of cultivation wisdom to the next generation.
