Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation funds conservation projects across British Columbia, with a strong emphasis on protecting and restoring wildlife habitat, wetlands, forests, and aquatic ecosystems. It often supports government agencies, First Nations, universities, local conservation groups, and technical research organizations working on species recovery and habitat management. The foundation stands out for its practical, on-the-ground approach: many grants are tied to specific restoration, access management, and habitat enhancement projects rather than broad operating support.
