Thor and Pax used the 2019 Race to Alaska and the attention it garners to take up a growing call for action to help our oceans by raising money and awareness for its lasting protection and preservation.
They restored and modified a 16’ Swampscott Dory to row and sail 750 miles from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska as part of the 2019 Race to Alaska. Nearly everything used to fix up and outfit the boat was salvaged, repaired and given a second life. Even the boat was saved from the blackberry bushes! They set sail on June 3rd 2019.
Their fundraiser was a success. They set their goal higher than expected (shoot for the moon, land in the stars…) and were very happy with the donation they were able to raise for Pacific Wild. They gave $2200 to Pacific Wild to be used for marine advocacy, campaigns for wildlife protection, and overall supporting their primary goal of getting people engaged with the ocean.
The Healing Pear, an early `Friend of Pacific Wild, began donating a portion of sales all the way back in 2019. These amazing pieces are handcarved, with the intention that "you will find a unique piece that carries an energy perfect for you, that inspires you, and that acts as armour for the powerful and unique vessel that carries you."
Owner Trish O. takes inspiration from her former home in British Columbia, dramatic west coast of the Scottish Highlands on the Isle of Skye, and other wild and beautiful ecosystems from around the world.
You can support Pacific Wild by purchasing your next gift (even if it`s for yourself) from The Healing Pear. Ships from the UK.

B.C. author and filmmaker Cheryl Alexander - and longtime supporter of Pacific Wild`s #savebcwolves campaign - announced that Takaya`s coastal sea wolf story has found a place in history in a new UK book `The Wolf: Culture, Nature, Heritage.` The 178-page hardcover book consists of chapters exploring the wolf`s unique position in ecosystems around the world. Takaya`s story is the only Canadian wolf in the book
A new road name also recently showed up on the Port Renfrew loop out of Victoria. Takaya Rd. is right near Shirley, B.C.
Coastal sea wolves are common along the coastline in Sooke, Metchosin and further northwest. Keep your eyes peeled for Pacific Wild`s upcoming exploration of how sea wolves and interior wolves influence their environments later in August! 🐺

Wildfire Wolf - by Anita Utas
This beautiful painting was created by friend of Pacific Wild, Anita Utas. Anita`s paintings inspire us to connect with wild animals as sentient individuals who need our protection. "Wildfire Wolf" was created to raise awareness about the impact of the wildfires on animal populations.
