That's why we offer Land Securement Grants all year. You can apply anytime.

Action Plans
We have identified conservation priorities for fish and wildlife in each of our three regions: Coastal, Columbia and Peace. These priorities and recommended actions are reflected in a series of watershed and ecosystem-based action plans that vary by region.
These plans recommend specific projects and priorities, and guide our grant decisions. In our Coastal Region, we fund projects that align with our 14 Coastal Region watershed-based action plans. Be sure to read our Overview of Coastal Region Watershed Action Plans.
Our Coastal Region
A local Board made up of BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and public stakeholders, guides the work of the FWCP and is responsible for approving all FWCP projects in the 14 watersheds that make up our Coastal Region. Map of our Coastal Region.
Most fish and wildlife projects in FWCP’s Coastal Region are funded through FWCP grants, but our Board may choose to direct projects and approve funding to address regional priorities. Read our annual report.
In our Coastal Region, FWCP is a voluntary initiative funded by BC Hydro.
