Land securement grants

Our boards recognize the importance of securing critical habitats and we know that timing and opportunities can be hard to predict.


That's why we offer land securement grants all year. You can apply anytime.

Contact our region managers to learn more about how to apply for a land securement grant.

Funded by BC Hydro

BC Hydro has water licence obligations in our Columbia and Peace regions, and has made voluntary commitments in our Coastal Region, to compensate for the “footprint” impacts associated with reservoirs behind dams.

BC Hydro funds FWCP annually to fulfill the applicable water licence and voluntary commitments.
