HCTF recently approved over $560k in funding for 41 conservation stewardship projects throughout B.C. Stewardship projects are those covered under our stewardship umbrella of grants which are our Action, Capacity, and Community Grants! 🌲 Action Grants, which have a two-year term, support projects that directly involve people and communities to change behaviours and/or practices leading to positive and measurable conservation outcomes. 🌲 Capacity Grants also have a two-year term and provide funding to build and strengthen the capability and capacity of organizations to design and deliver conservation or restoration projects successfully. 🌲 Community Grants have up to five years to complete and involve as many volunteers as possible to implement on-the-ground conservation work, with a particular focus on hands-on, community-based, and public awareness initiatives. See the full list of stewardship projects on our website or check out whats happening in your backyard on our project map at: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1y390dNVL8fVsD427r3vvaszNO_jkrrk&ll=54.339463080373804%2C-124.28750695&z=5! 📷 Habitat Restoration in the Garnet Valley - photo by Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship #ConservationBC #HabitatRestoration #StewardshipProjects #ActionGrants #BCNature

🍁 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

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.
