Our Impact: Rooted in the Kootenays, Committed to the Wild

At Kootenay Wildcrafting, we believe that true wellness is inseparable from the health of the land. Our mission is to bridge the gap between ancestral plant wisdom and modern conservation.

1. Ancient Forest Alliance Partnership

We are proud to donate 10% of all profits to the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA). This Canadian non-profit organization is dedicated to protecting BC’s endangered old-growth forests and ensuring sustainable forestry practices. When you choose our wildcrafted remedies, you are directly funding the protection of ecosystems that have stood for centuries.

2. Ethical Wildcrafting & Foraging

Our foraging isn't just about harvest; it's about stewardship. We follow strict regenerative harvesting guidelines:

• The 1-in-10 Rule: We never harvest more than 10% of a healthy colony, ensuring the plant population remains resilient.
• Species Preservation: We prioritize invasive species (like Dandelion and St. John's Wort) to help restore native biodiversity.
• Zero-Waste Extraction: Every part of our botanicals is utilized, from the initial infusion to the final compost.

3. Regenerative Sourcing

Our Tallow is sourced exclusively from regenerative Canadian farms. By supporting grass-fed and finished cattle, we promote soil carbon sequestration and livestock raised without hormones, GMOs, or synthetic fertilizers.

4. Circular Packaging & Shipping

We are committed to reducing waste through a "reuse-first" philosophy:

• 90% Sustainable Packaging: Our products are primarily housed in reusable glass and metal containers or compostable paper packaging.
• 100% Compostable Shipping: Every order is shipped using 100% compostable materials, ensuring that our shipping footprint returns to the earth rather than a landfill.
