Across the province, we work with partners to restore wetlands, estuaries, forests, grasslands, and more so that wildlife and people can thrive for generations.
Healthy ecosystems filter water, store carbon, support biodiversity, buffer floods and drought, and provide food, shelter, and movement corridors for wildlife.
Every project starts with the needs of the land. In one place, restoration might mean removing invasive plants and reintroducing native plants. In another, it might mean reconnecting a waterway to an estuary, thinning dense forest stands, rebuilding stream complexity, or helping fish and wildlife return.
Our work is careful, ongoing, and guided by science. It requires detailed planning, expert implementation, long-term monitoring, thoughtful adaptation, and ongoing stewardship.
BC’s lands and waters have been shaped by decades of development, altered water flows, fire suppression, and other human pressures, as well as the introduction of invasive species. Our restoration efforts help ecosystems recover their natural functions, creating cleaner water, healthier soils, and better habitat for fish, birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
Working alongside First Nations, local communities, governments, conservation organizations, and funders, we carry out restoration projects that are rooted in place, guided by science and local knowledge, and built for long-term stewardship.

We gratefully acknowledge that our Vancouver office is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, who have been stewarding this land since time immemorial. Our work and conservation areas encompass many lands throughout the province, and we humbly acknowledge the First Nations communities who live on and steward these lands.
