Wild Cortes
Wild Cortes is the permanent off-site Natural History Education Centre of the Cortes Island Museum & Archives, housed at Linnaea Education Centre on Cortes Island. It presents rotating exhibitions on local ecology, wildlife, and conservation—past shows have covered humpback whale recovery, old-growth forest trust, cougars and wolves, and the cascade effects of climate change—alongside a unique taxidermy collection curated by Laurel Bohart and a hands-on EcoLab with microscopes. The centre is a collaborative project of the Cortes Wild! partnership, bringing together local societies, biologists, geologists, and educators.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Homalco, ɬaʔamɩn gɩǰɛ (Tla’amin), and ƛohos giǰi (Klahoose).
