Our story
From the Bay Area to Woods Across the USA
Why did we start Wyldforest? Because we believe real life happens offline. Screens can’t capture the hidden magic of the forest floor, the thrill of discovering rare fungi, or the energy of sharing the trail with great people.
We built this to help you trade screen time for trail time and reconnect with the wild world waiting right outside your door.
