About  [Edit]

Kakwa Ecovillage is a community founded on the principles of harmony with nature and each other; where work is meditation in action. Organic agriculture is used to transform the fields to feed and support the community. The natural beauty of the valley and Kakwa Provincial Park encourages us to promote eco-tourism and greater appreciation for the earth. Our dwellings and sustainable life styles are used as examples to a larger society to identify the possibilities.



The property is beautifully located on over 1 mile of the Fraser River. Cleared pasture on the river comprises about 100 acres. The balance of the 540 acre site varies between meadows, forests and riparian areas with a number of high benches and hills. There are a number of springs on the property. Buildings include a 4 bedroom common house, bunkhouse/lecture hall, 2 river cabins and a log hay barn.

 

Masterplan for the next 5 years:





The possibilities are enormous for organic agriculture. The demand exceeds the supply. Ecotourism has barely been touched. The wildlife is prolific: moose, caribou, elk, bears, bighorn sheep, mt. goats, etc. The scenery is spectacular and breathtaking within the Rocky Mountain Trench that extends for 1000 miles. Passenger train service will stop on the property to pick up passengers and we`re 90 minutes from a major regional airport. The city of Prince George with it`s growing university population and influence opens up many possibilities for a wide variety of alternative educational programs and workshops.
