The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation manages the Caribou Habitat Restoration Fund with the mission of restoring high-value habitat for caribou in British Columbia using functional and ecological restoration methods. This initiative is underpinned by a contribution from the Province of BC, emphasizing a coordinated and strategic approach to caribou habitat restoration.
HCTF Fish & Wildlife (F&W) Grants aim to support projects that focus on the conservation of native freshwater fish, wildlife, and their habitats with the potential to achieve significant conservation outcomes. This includes projects that align with the Wildlife Act's purposes, emphasizing habitat enhancement and restoration. The program encourages applications from a wide range of entities, including governments, First Nations, academic institutions, NGOs, and industry. Priority is given to projects yielding tangible outcomes for wildlife, fish, and their habitats, especially those involving habitat management decisions, new restoration opportunities, and evaluating the effectiveness of HCTF-funded projects. Special attention is given to White Sturgeon and Wild Sheep through dedicated funds, seeking proposals that expand knowledge and conservation efforts, especially in the Fraser River region. Additionally, HCTF offers seed grants for new project ideas needing preliminary work, with funding up to $5,000 to support planning and development toward a full proposal.
