The Forest Enhancement Society of BC’s funding for the 2025-26 portion of their Fibre Utilization and Wildfire Risk Reduction intakes is fully allocated and the application portal will be closed at 5:00pm PST on April 17, 2025. Proponents submitting proposals now will be added to a follow up list for later consideration if additional funds become available.
An Expression of Interest portal will be opened this summer for additional projects in the 2026-27 fiscal year. Proponents who have submitted applications already do not need to re-apply and are still under consideration for funding.
Proponents are encouraged to visit the FESBC website for intake details and to contact an Operations Manager to discuss their proposals.
