The Southern Interior Land Trust, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, and BC Wildlife Federation have initiated a major habitat improvement project at Ginty's Pond, aiming to restore approximately one hectare of open-water wetland and create new riparian habitat. The initiative is part of an ongoing effort since 2020 to maintain good habitat conditions.

Volunteers can sign up online for the Ginty's Pond restoration initiative. Since its inception in 2020, the project has been focused on managing monoculture cattail growth and preventing overgrowth by adding native plants, shrubs, and trees as part of the restoration efforts.
