The Strathcona Wilderness Institute is a non-profit society incorporated in 1995 to promote responsible and enjoyable use of the wilderness areas of Strathcona Provincial Park in central Vancouver Island on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Vision: To inspire awareness, appreciation and stewardship of the natural world through research, education and participation.
The Institute embraces the goals of the Strathcona Park Master Plan to protect the natural beauty of the park while promoting public stewardship, enjoyment and respect for the integrity of the wilderness.
With more park land under government protection and fewer government funds available for services and facilities, it is increasingly necessary for park users to learn to assume responsibility for themselves and to take care of the natural environment by minimizing the impact of their presence.
The essential role of the Institute, in partnership with BC Parks, and with the support of the Friends of Strathcona Park, is to serve as an interface between the Strathcona wilderness and the general public. As a registered non-profit society, the Institute intends to facilitate a co-operative effort to assure support for continuing education and park stewardship.
Strathcona Wilderness Institute believes that by facilitating wilderness experience it will help keep the human spirit in balance in our ever-changing society.
