Farmland in Delta plays a vital
economic and environmental role for people and wildlife at
the mouth of the Fraser River. The delta's rich soils and optimal climate
make it one of Canada's most productive farming areas. A wide
range of vegetables, berries, and dairy products are produced
and add significantly to the BC economy. Millions of birds travel through the delta
every year during their fall and spring migrations along the
Pacific coast. They rely on this flat open coastal landscape
for feeding and resting. For many more species of birds and
other wildlife, the delta is a year-round home. Explore our website to learn more about local
farms, and how different farm practices benefit the soil, the
environment and the millions of birds visiting Delta every
year.
