The Indigenous Forest Bioeconomy Program (IFBP) collaborates with Indigenous partners across the province to promote community resilience within an increasingly competitive global forest sector. The program offers funding that supports Indigenous partners to lead the development of a forest bioeconomy. Growing B.C.’s forest bioeconomy will result in economic, social and environmental benefits for Indigenous communities across the province. Eligible projects include innovative or value-added wood products, use of residual fibre left over from conventional forestry processes, or the development of non-timber forest products (e.g., berries, flora, bark). Program funding is provided entirely outside of accommodation agreements. The Indigenous Forest Bioeconomy Program is accepting applications for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. Applications will be accepted until 4:30 pm on May 16, 2025.
