Agriculture & Stewardship: Farming with Wildlife

Farming is an important land use and major contributor to the economy in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. Farmers are stewards of important wildlife habitat, and have a critical role in conservation and stewardship. Sustainable agriculture in the region can benefit both natural capital as well as the farm. Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship provides assistance and support to landowners, including farmers, who contribute to wildlife habitat stewardship, conservation and restoration while still maintaining agricultural production on their properties. Participation is voluntary, no rights are lost- what we do is try to find solutions that benefit both your farm as well as wildlife that may use it. Contact us for: more information about our initiatives on farms as well as partner initiatives a free farm visit from a local biologist to learn more about wildlife and habitats on your property an assessment of wildlife habitat values on your property information, support, and assistance in improving habitats on your property information on how to become a Wildlife Habitat Steward
