Our Programs

"Conserving farmland and wildlife through co-operative land stewardship."

Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust has developed six stewardship programs to address the challenges facing agriculture and wildlife conservation on the Lower Fraser River delta. The programs provide farmers with funding to establish wildlife habitat (grassland set-asides, grass margins, hedgerows, and cover crops) or invest in soil fertility (grassland set-asides, cover crops, laser leveling, and field liming).

By providing solutions to farmers that are compatible with their crop rotations, our programs are contributing to the availability of wildlife habitat and the long-term viability of local farming operations.
