Consider applying for a Seed Grant of up to $5,000 to fill information gaps, prepare technical information, and explore the feasibility of your project idea.
Before starting your Seed Grant application, please contact our Coastal, Columbia, or Peace region managers to discuss your project idea, eligibility, and available funding.
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.
2025-2026 projects

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.
