Thank you to @gofishbc for getting some of the HCTF staff out of the office for a great learn-to-fish experience! A big chunk of HCTF’s conservation funding comes from the conservation surcharge on B.C.’s freshwater fishing, hunting, trapping, and guide outfitting licences. For freshwater fishing licences, 100% of what you pay stays right here in B.C. The conservation surcharge goes to HCTF, and the fee portion supports @gofishbc . It’s a win–win for the outdoors. Have you ever wanted to learn how to fish but are not sure where to start? Why not check out a learn-to-fish event near you? Head to https://www.gofishbc.com/, they've got tons of events across BC as well as lots of great resources and info! If you’re gearing up for your next adventure, you can grab your Freshwater Fishing licence or BC resident hunting licence online through the B.C. Government’s e-licensing system. And when you do, you’re directly supporting conservation where it matters most.

Spring in B.C. means longer days, greener landscapes, and wildlife on the move. From nesting birds to emerging amphibians and young mammals exploring their surroundings, this is one of the busiest seasons for nature across the province. Every conservation project supported through HCTF helps protect the habitats these species rely on, today and for future generations. Whether you’re hiking, paddling, or exploring your local greenspace this spring, remember to give wildlife space and help keep B.C.’s ecosystems healthy. Learn more about conservation projects happening across the province at hctf.ca 📸 Project Cap250

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity British Columbia is home to an incredible range of species, from coastal wolves and marbled murrelets to western toads, badgers, and salmon. Each species plays an important role in keeping ecosystems healthy, resilient, and connected. At the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, we’re proud to support projects across BC that help conserve the habitats wildlife depend on now and for future generations. Learn more about conservation projects happening across the province and how you can get involved. 📸 Shannon Werden, Julie Thomas, Project 5-349
