Project Results

In 2025-2026 our boards approved $9.2 million for 72 fish and wildlife projects to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams. As the projects proceed, we will share results and project outcomes here, including final project reports.

We share project results in our annual reports and project outcomes, through our Coastal, Columbia, and Peace region e-letters, social media, and this page.

Our projects can have immediate benefits to species and ecosystems. For example, if we fund a project to remove a culvert, fish passage can be improved right away. Other projects may take longer to show results. Our funding of recovery efforts for endangered Northern Leopard Frogs, caribou, and Vancouver Island Marmots are examples of where a longer-term commitment is needed before results will be evident.

Wildlife Tree Creators Trained

Coastal Region — More than 30 participants – arborists, biologists and First Nation partners– took part in a day-long workshop in Campbell River and are ready to create wildlife trees. Their work to create more habitat for cavity nesters will help the federally threatened and provincially blue-listed Western Screech Owl and many other species.

Bat Species & Structures Monitored

Columbia Region — Nine bat species were confirmed during annual monitoring of artificial bat roosting structures near Nelson. The structures were installed by the Okanagan Nation Alliance in an area where bats roost and overwinter. Wildlife trees have been created in the same area to boost the habitat available to the Little Brown myotis, Yuma myotis, and other bat species.

20 caribou cows penned

Peace Region — In March 2026, 20 adult female cows were safely captured, assessed, and transported to a maternity pen in the herd's traditional range for the 2026 calving season. The cows, and their new calves, will stay in the pen until mid-summer, when the calves are stronger and less susceptible to predators.

Project Reports and Databases

To make it easy for you to find project reports and results, we prepare and update searchable spreadsheets for each of our regions. Use these spreadsheets to find the report you want. Contact us anytime if you need help to find a FWCP project report.
