Investing in native forests
Each year Big Canopy Campout raises funds for a grassroots organisation dedicated to the protection of native forests.
During the 12 month period money is raised through our campout fundraising event, sales from our online shop and personal donations whilst learning about the project and people involved.
In 2023 BCC will support the SËRA Foundation, an indigenous group of youth forest defenders of Siekopai nationality from the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Learn more about their story of resistance and how you can help.
