We’re the official charitable partner for parks and protected areas in BC.

Founded in 2018, BC Parks Foundation was born

We're here to help you enjoy and protect them for now, for all, for always.

Founded in 2018, BC Parks Foundation is the official charitable partner to BC’s parks and Indigenous protected areas. We exist to spark joy, action, and lasting protection for the places that shape who we are as British Columbians.

We also exist to make it easy and rewarding for everyone to get involved in conservation—whether by donating, sharing, volunteering, or simply enjoying the land.

Parks and protected areas are the heart of BC. They’re where we go to feel free, to heal, and to connect. Our work is rooted in gratitude, powered by people, and guided by deep respect for nature and community.
