The Invermere branch of Wildsight has been the environmental voice of the upper Columbia Valley since 1989. We are a BC-registered, non-profit organization, governed by an engaged Board of Directors and supported by an active membership and community of volunteers. We work together with Wildsight Regional and the five other Wildsight branches, as well as local Columbia Valley groups.

Wildsight Invermere works towards the overall Wildsight organizational vision:
Wildsight’s vision is to inspire a shared community desire to protect our natural world for future generations. We envision extensive and connected wild spaces for wildlife—from grizzly bears to woodpeckers to trout. We envision clean air and clear water running from mountain watersheds to our lakes. We see thriving and sustainable communities made up of engaged and educated citizens.

Our mission is to inspire community action and lead the way in ensuring the integrity and ecological values of our surrounding wetlands, forests, grasslands and mountains through our programs, campaigns, and grassroots initiatives.

Through our Wild Connections program, we host events and workshops that inspire, inform and engage our membership on environmental and community issues. We started Spark, rural Canada’s first all-electric vehicle share program. Every November, we organize our annual fundraiser, the Wild & Scenic Film Festival— now in its 12th year. We also take on large initiatives, such as the Columbia Lake Bighorn Sheep project, Pesticide Free Invermere, Wilmer wetlands clean-up and the Lake Enid Restoration Project.
