Whether you're heading to the forest, the beach, your local park, or just exploring your own backyard, summer is the perfect time to spark curiosity and connection with the natural world. Where will your summer adventures take you and your little learners this year? From watching pollinators at work to discovering animal tracks on a trail, there are endless ways to explore, observe, and learn outside.

🍁 Happy Canada Day from HCTF! 🍁 Today, we’re celebrating the incredible landscapes, wildlife, and biodiversity that make Canada so special. From the soaring mountains to the coastal rainforests, the grasslands to the wetlands, Canada is home to some amazing landscapes and habitat! We recognize that the lands we work to protect are the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples who have been stewards of these landscapes since time immemorial. As we reflect on what it means to live in and care for this place we call home, we’re committed to supporting conservation efforts that honour this legacy and help build a more resilient future for all. Let’s celebrate Canada by getting outside, learning from the land, and taking action to protect it. 📷 Alison Etter #CanadaDay #BCWildlife #HabitatConservation #ExploreBC #HCTF

Grasslands might seem quiet—but they’re some of BC’s busiest ecosystems. Burrowing owls, badgers, mule deer, and bighorn sheep all rely on these dry, open habitats. That’s why HCTF funds restoration projects in BC’s Interior, including: Invasive plant removal Prescribed burns Native plant re-seeding and MORE!

Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour and celebrate the cultures, knowledge, and deep-rooted connections to the land held by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. The programs and projects we fund take place on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples throughout B.C. who have been stewards of these lands since time immemorial. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from, collaborate with, and support Indigenous-led conservation efforts. A growing number of Indigenous-led projects supported by HCTF funds are conserving freshwater fish, wildlife, and their habitat, and we look forward to continuing to grow and learn together. #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousStewardship #ConservationInBC #HCTF #IndigenousLed 📷 1-722 Graeme Owsianski

☀️ Happy Summer Solstice! ☀️ Today marks the longest day of the year — and one of the best opportunities to get outside and soak in the beauty of BC’s wild places. With more daylight hours than any other day, it’s the perfect time to explore the forests, coastlines, grasslands, and wetlands that make this province so special. Whether you’re hiking a local trail, spotting wildlife, or just taking in a sunset, spending time in nature reminds us why conservation matters. The lands and waters we protect today will shape the future we share tomorrow. At HCTF, we’re proud to support projects that help conserve BC’s biodiversity and connect people to nature all year round. 📸 Tag us in your solstice adventures! 📷 Project 1-752 Invasive plant removal staff 📷 Project 2-390 Learn 2 Fish 22-23 📷 Project 8-90 - Swan Lake Planting with NONC volunteers #SummerSolstice #ExploreBC #GetOutsideBC #ConservationMatters #HabitatConservation #BCWildlife #LongestDayOfTheYear #HCTF #NatureInBC #Biodiversity
