Living Forest Communities

Living Forest Communities (LFC) is a social enterprise between the for-profit Living Forest Limited Partnership and the registered charity, the Trust for Sustainable Forestry (the Trust). LFC has created a unique community development model that accomplishes two goals: providing a new finance mechanism for large scale forest conservation, and creating a new and sustainable development pattern for residential hamlets built within the forest.

LFC’s current project, Elkington Forest, is located on Vancouver Island, only 35 minutes north of Victoria, BC. Elkington Forest is a 1000 acre forest, with 850 acres of conserved forest land. On the other 150 acres, half of the land is reserved for food production, and half is developed into three residential Hamlets with a total of 77 homes and 15 eco-businesses.
