From the forestry, mining, and agriculture of the pioneer years to today, and the connections between Creston and the rest of the Kootenays.

A 7,000-hectare (17,000-acre) area of provincial Crown land along the Kootenay River system. A protected flood plain that has been returned into a productive wildlife and waterfowl habitat. The dykes that were intended to drain the marshes were expanded and modified to control the wide seasonal variation in water levels and create much needed waterfowl nesting and rearing habitat.
