View From The Elkington Forest

Elkington Forest is a 950-acre (3.8 km²) privately managed forest located at the southern boundary of the Cowichan Valley Regional District on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Sustainable development is intended for this property. In 2011, the entire parcel land was rezoned from F1 - Forestry to CLS - Community Land Stewardship zone, through which 85% of the land is designated for eco-forestry and conservation use, and 15% of the land is designated for a mix of agricultural uses and residential development. Under this zoning a majority of the residential density and agricultural uses were located on the southern or upland portions of the land. In 2011, Living Forest Communities, in partnership with the Canadian registered charity, the Trust for Sustainable Forestry purchased the southern half of the lands, and began to develop the lands. The installation of light-on-the-land services; roads, sewers, water lines, and power lines began in the summer of 2013. The residential hamlets have been designed in a more European manner, with densely clustered homes located around a community green space with a community centre and coffee shop.
