Empowering Wilderness Experiences
Together, Wilderness Trails and the Chilcotin Ark Institute facilitate conservation research trips. Everyone who joins us at our ranch-based research station within the Chilcotin Ark will experience our Six Principle philosophy of nature connection, nature conservation, self-sufficiency, personal development, empowerment and conscious & aware. In this newsletter, we want to share how Empowerment will be part of your experience with us:
Experience real empowerment as you do things you have never done before, or never believed you could. Your wilderness experience facilitates many opportunities for you to learn new skills and knowledge from learning how to track animals, cook over a campfire, riding the mountain tops to reflecting on your interests, goals and purpose. Learning new skills and living with a positive mentality empower us to do anything and everything we set our intentions for.

All of our wilderness experiences are based around the conservation and stewardship of the Chilcotin Ark. As we benefit from the unique wilderness, it is our responsibility to take care of the environment we benefit from. We share this unique environment with all our guests, so you will get involved in all aspects of your conservation trip. You will be rewarded with the opportunity to experience pure wilderness and wildlife that only a few are able to access and experience.
Empower your children – Ranch-based Wildlife Tracking Trip
A ranch-based wildlife tracking and conservation trip is an empowering opportunity for your family where everyone can learn the skills to ride or hike in the wilderness, with the comfort and safety of returning to the ranch house each day. Start your trip off with multiple shorter hikes or rides and finish the experience with a full day trip into the Alpine. This is the perfect first step in a graduated program of empowerment as it builds your confidence and lays the foundation for a future camp-based wilderness trip. Learn the habitats and behaviour of Canada’s wildlife as you record each animal sighting to contribute to habitat and population management.

Together we will design the perfect empowerment experience for you and your family

Make your contribution!
The Chilcotin Ark Institute and its partner organizations are deeply interconnected. This connection allows us to self-finance our conservation efforts.
We know we need to look after the environment we are benefiting from for the long term. Therefore, Wilderness Trails, as a partner organization, supports the conservation efforts of the Chilcotin Ark Institute. All of our guests contribute with a 5% Stewardship fee to the Chilcotin Ark and help collect data on each trip that supports the Institute’s conservation efforts.
The Chilcotin Ark Institute is starting a new fundraising campaign for the conservation projects in the Chilcotin Ark. With a monthly donation, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the conservation efforts from wherever you are. With a minimum donation you will get our general updates on our conservation efforts and the 6 principles. With a larger donation you will get in-depth insights on projects and access to inspirational resources on the 6 principles.
With your donation you will be contributing to the big picture of conserving the unique wildlife and habitat of the Chilcotin Ark.

We look forward to sharing a Six Principle wilderness experience with you,
Your Wilderness Trails & Chilcotin Ark Institute community
