We implement an interactive and resilient Communications and Community Relations Strategy that enables members and interested parties to engage in an informed and timely manner.

Relationship-Building and Networks
We have built and continue to maintain a vibrant, clearly defined network to develop synergistic opportunities and create program efficiencies.

Sustainability and Financial Health
We are a financially sustainable non-profit organization that balances financial health with our organizational mission.

We collaboratively develop, deliver and sustain community-driven programs that further the Wildsight Vision and are responsive to local needs and passions.

We have a responsive and engaged group of volunteers that are organized and available to assist and lead Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook initiatives. That being said, we are always looking for help with our local initiatives and together through our combined actions we can make an enormous difference.
