ABOUT THE LIVING FOREST INSTITUTE
Living Forest Institute's vision is to connect every member of the community to their local natural forests inspiring action and preservation.
We believe that our remaining natural forests are integral components of the local communities in which they exist, and play an essential role in the well-being of the planet. We promote this belief through collaboration with environmental, indigenous, political, educational, artistic, cultural and other organizations to produce art and educational activities that develop stronger connections between community members and local natural forests.
The work that we do is driven and guided by our core values:
COLLABORATE: Work with all invested parties to find solutions and take action
CREATE: Seek creative ways to inspire and build passion within our communities
CONNECT: Build connections between community and their local natural forests
In our effort to inspire action and preservation, our focus is on education, inspiration and activism.

Inspiration – What inspiration can we gain from our natural forests?

“Here is your opportunity to learn a deeper knowledge through fun healthy experiences that our forests are willing to share with us. All you have to do is be willing to receive its wisdom. ”
