Trail improvements, ecosystem restoration and accessibility enhancements are among the more than 100 community-led projects that will receive support through the BC Parks Licence Plate Program.

In 2026, $350,000 from the Community Park Enhancement Fund will help support projects focused on conservation and recreation in parks and protected areas throughout B.C.

The funding is made possible through revenue generated by BC Parks licence plate sales.

A portion will go toward improvements at Strathcona Park.

The Community Park Enhancement Fund began in 2013, with projects delivered in collaboration with Indigenous partners, community groups, volunteers, academic researchers and non-profit organizations.

Some of the projects have focused on invasive species management and removal, habitat and wildlife monitoring, trail improvements and maintenance, education and interpretive signage, ecosystem restoration, accessibility enhancements, youth engagement programs, and more.

The BC Parks Licence Plate Program is managed through a partnership between the Province and ICBC, with motorists choosing one of three specialty plate designs depicting scenes from B.C.’s parks and protected areas.

All net proceeds from the sale and renewals of the plates are reinvested into provincial parks through the Park Enhancement Fund, an account that supports the delivery of priority programs and services in provincial parks, complementing and sustaining the broader parks system.
