Your support helps protect public access to B.C.'s outdoors, strengthen volunteer-led recreation organizations and care for the trails, waterways and other outdoor places we all enjoy.
There are several ways to make a difference.

Advance responsible recreation and stewardship
Strengthen outdoor recreation across B.C.

The Outdoor Recreation Fund provides grants to community groups maintaining trails, improving recreation facilities and caring for outdoor spaces across B.C.
You can make a donation to the Fund or contribute to its permanent endowment, helping support community recreation projects for years to come.
