Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust (DF&WT) was established in 1993 by a group of farmers and conservationists committed to preserving Delta's agricultural and wildlife resources. Through partnerships with farmers, DF&WT's stewardship programs have contributed to the planting of 90,000 acres of winter cover crops, 14,000 acres of grassland set-asides and more than 10 km of hedgerows. These projects provide essential habitats for migratory and resident wildlife visiting Canada's most Important Bird Area. DF&WT has also participated in numerous research projects in partnership with UBC, BCIT and the Investment Agriculture Foundation dealing with soil health, crops, wildlife and pollinators on Delta's agricultural lands. By providing solutions for farmers that are compatible with crop rotations, DF&WT's stewardship programs contribute to the long-term viability of local farmland, ensuring the land will continue to be sustainable for food production and accessible for wildlife habitat. Since 1993 DF&WT has disbursed $10 million into our community to enhance biodiversity in this beautiful and unique landscape.
