The BC Wildlife Federation is a province-wide voluntary conservation organization of hunters, anglers and recreational shooters, representing all British Columbians whose aims are to protect, enhance and promote the wise use of the environment for the benefit of present and future generations.
The BCWF objectives are to ensure the sound, long-term management of British Columbia’s fish, wildlife, park and outdoor recreational resources in the best interests of all British Columbians, and to coordinate all the voluntary agencies, societies, clubs and individuals interested in that objective, and to develop and support a comprehensive educational program to make all British Columbians aware of the value of British Columbia’s fish, wildlife, park and outdoor recreational resources, and to arouse in the public conscience a recognition of, and a respect for, the place of fish, wildlife and outdoor recreation in the wise integrated use of the nation’s natural resources.
The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was founded in 1969 by the Directors of the BC Wildlife Federation to contribute significantly to the perpetuation and expansion of fish and wildlife populations through the efficient implementation of projects in the field. BCCF is a federally registered charity dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of British Columbia’s ecosystems and species.
The Conservation Excellence Certification Program is your pathway to elevating your organization’s impact and credibility in the world of land conservation.
By becoming certified, your organization demonstrates its commitment to meeting and exceeding the highest standards in conservation, with evaluations based on the Canadian Land Trust Standards and Practices.
The Certification Program leverages the expertise and best practices of the land trust sector across critical areas such as board governance, financial accountability, land stewardship, land securement, and organizational management. This framework supports land trusts in elevating their practices, with the option to further showcase their dedication to excellence by achieving certification through a rigorous, independent peer review process.
SILT is a member of the Land Trust Alliance of British Columbia (LTABC), representing 35 land trust members across the province. Associate members (consultants, environmental groups, and individuals) bring our total membership to 100. Since 1997, when LTABC was established, we have developed educational, research and resource programs that have helped conservation groups steward, protect and restore BC’s natural and cultural diversity.
We are a non-profit registered Society dedicated to the protection and enhancement of wild sheep and wild sheep habitat throughout “Beautiful British Columbia”.
The WSSBC was formed in 1998 by a group of dedicated sportsmen and women that recognized the challenges wild sheep face, and decided to take action. They believed it was their responsibility to protect the species they had come to admire. Since then, the Society has grown to hundreds of members provincially and internationally whose crucial funds and volunteer time are funnelled into projects around BC with the goal of “Putting More Sheep On The Mountains”.
The South Okanagan Conservation Fund is a partnership of fifty local, regional, provincial and national organizations, agencies, and local governments. The partnership works together to share information and resources and to work collaboratively on protecting the unique natural landscapes of this region.
The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) is a not for profit charitable foundation established in 2007. The primary purpose of the Foundation is to act as Trustee of the Habitat Conservation Trust, which was created in 2007 by an amendment to the Wildlife Act. The HCTF succeeded the Habitat Conservation Fund which operated from 1981 to 2007. Hunters, anglers, trappers and guide-outfitters contribute to the Foundation’s enhancement and education projects through license surcharges. Voluntary contributions, proceeds from the sale of education materials, and court awards provide additional revenue. BCWF appoints two members to the HCTF Board of Directors.
