The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWA) is a provincial crown agency that operates as a not-for-profit organization with federal charitable status.
Their mandate is derived from British Columbia’s Creston Valley Wildlife Act. Through the Act, a Management Authority was delegated to manage the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, a 7,000-hectare (17,000-acre) area of provincial Crown land, or an area that averages 20 km (12.4) miles long by 3.4 km (2.1 miles) wide. It contains one lake (1,500 ha or 3,700 acres) and 17 marshes plus a major river and adjoining mountain slopes. The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area is unique in having its own Act to govern its management.
