Branch members have provided leadership and ongoing support to keep Jumbo wild. We have also been active in reviewing the Olympic training facility proposal for Farnham glacier in an attempt to minimize environmental impacts. The branch is working to protect Columbia Lake Park from bisection to accommodate a resort scheme that threatens wildife and plant communities in both the park and the East Columbia Lake Wildlife Management Area.

Branch members are key participants in the Lake Windermere Project and have donated time and equipment to monitor water quality.

Canadian Forest Products (Canfor) and British Columbia Timber Sales (BCTS) are in the process of developing new sustainable forest-management practices in the Invermere Timber Supply Area. They have convened a public advisory forum to analyze environmental, social and economic issues related to eventual Forest Stewardship Council certification of Canfor and BCTS products and operations. Wildsight Invermere Branch has the environmental conservation seat at this forum and is represented by Gerry Wilkie and Paul Bell, with John Bergenske as advisor.
