Supporting local farms that feed families and the birds!

Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust is a non-profit organization that promotes the preservation of farmland and wildlife habitat on the lower Fraser River delta through co-operative land stewardship with local farmers.
Since our establishment in 1993, over 82,000 acres of winter cover crops, 13,000 acres of grassland set-asides and 10 km of hedgerows have been planted.
“DF&WT is a model of cooperation that needs to be celebrated and supported in North America. As competing land uses put pressure on agriculture in Delta, it’s important that farmers are supported in continuing to farm. If land is converted to other uses, our food supply and our wildlife habitat will be lost forever. We’ve been at a tipping point in our municipality for years. Agricultural land and farming must be a priority to ensure the conservation of both our food supply and important wildlife species.”
