Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust is a non-profit organization that promotes the preservation of farmland and wildlife habitat in the Fraser River estuary of British Columbia, Canada through co-operative land stewardship with local farmers.
Since our establishment in 1993, over 89,000 acres of winter cover crops, 14,600 acres of grassland set-asides and 10 km of hedgerows have been planted and maintained.
Approximately $10 million has been disbursed through our stewardship programs to the farming communities of Delta and Richmond, BC to support agricultural practices that improve biodiversity and support long-term soil health.
