Ever wonder how HCTF turns funding into approved projects and real-world impacts? From restoring wetlands and protecting wildlife habitat, to funding cutting-edge research and supporting community-led stewardship projects every dollar is carefully invested where it can make an impact. Our role as a trusted fund manager means working closely with scientists, Indigenous partners, local organizations, and communities to ensure conservation efforts are effective, accountable, and lasting. Since 1981, HCTF has helped fund thousands of projects that protect species, strengthen ecosystems, and support sustainable outdoor recreation across BC. Together, these projects build a healthier, more resilient future for wildlife and people alike. Conservation works best when we work together.

Few animals represent BC’s wild landscapes quite like the moose. Despite their size, moose are deeply connected to wetlands, relying on marshes, swamps, and shallow lakes for food, shelter, and relief from summer heat. Aquatic plants found in wetlands make up a major part of a moose’s diet, and these areas also provide important calving habitat and protection from predators. When wetlands are degraded or lost, moose populations feel the impact. Protecting wetlands means protecting the places moose need to survive and thrive. Through conservation funding and partnerships, HCTF helps support the habitats that sustain iconic species like the moose across British Columbia.

Hello, spring! 🌸 As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, wetlands across BC come alive. Frogs begin calling, birds return to nest, and plants burst into bloom, marking the start of one of nature’s busiest seasons. Spring reminds us of renewal, resilience, and the importance of protecting the habitats that make this transformation possible. At HCTF, we’re proud to support conservation projects that help wetlands and wildlife thrive not just this season, but year-round. Here’s to fresh starts, new growth, and a hopeful season ahead.
