Located at Linnea Education Centre, 1255 Seaford Road, Wild Cortes is the permanent off-site Natural History Education Centre of the Cortes Island Museum & Archives.
Wild Cortes is managed by the Cortes Wild! partnership: Linnaea Farm Society, Cortes Island Museum & Archives Society, Friends of Cortes Island Society (FOCI), Discovery Islands Ecosystem Mapping Project (DIEM), Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island Society (FTCCIS), Cortes Island biologist Sabina Leader Mense, geologist/naturalist Christian Gronau, and teacher/naturalist Rex Weiler and students.
The partners work together to create exhibits, provide extensive educational materials and microscopes and promote greater awareness about ecology and environmental challenges facing Cortes Island and surrounding regions.
Our current exhibition is
Imagine ... a forest in trust of the children.
We have permanent exhibits. One of them is
