Enhancing BC Estuaries

The Nature Trust of BC has received funding for a five-year project, which will improve estuary habitat to enhance the long-term sustainability and health of wild BC fish stocks. This project involves monitoring the estuaries and undertaking restoration projects. We will be working with Coastal First Nations and our partners in the West Coast Conservation Land Management Program. Financial support for this project is provided under the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund, a contribution program funded jointly between  Fisheries and Oceans Canada , and the  Province of BC .

Monthly donors who give regularly to The Nature Trust give us the encouragement and financial support to continue our crucial land conservation work for vulnerable wildlife, fish and plants. Every dollar helps and stays in BC!
