The Association of Whistler Area Residents for the Environment

Working for Conservation and Climate Action, since 1989.

We work to safeguard diverse local habitats and their species, to educate the public about Whistler's wilderness backyard and to maintain connectivity of ecosystems, which support wildlife and human health.

Safeguarding Habitat, Biodiversity and Wilderness

We utilize education, appreciation
and experience to encourage a love of nature. Promoting awareness, inspiring responsible stewardship and fostering respect of the natural environment, which is the foundation of our local mountain culture and quality of life.

Connecting People and Nature

We empower our community to participate in, and act upon, goals for mindful consumption within the urgent context of unsustainable resource use and climate change. Engaging community members to make smart energy choices, use efficient transportation, consider the impacts of products, food and water, as we seek a more sustainable future.
