 Wetland Restoration Workshop June 27 - 29
One of the primary tenets of Haliburton Farm is that organic farming is compatible with maintaining and restoring ecosystem health.
Small wetlands provide critical habitat for many species of amphibians, invertebrates, birds, and mammals. Unfortunately, a majority of these wetlands have been lost to draining and filling throughout North America. These landscape modifications are now affecting recovery efforts for endangered species, reducing water quality, increasing flooding, and reducing ground water supplies. Restoring wetland has rapidly becoming a tool in environmental management and ecological recovery planning.
For more information, see our wetland restoration page.

We are proud members of the Conservation Partners Program
The Conservation Partners Program (CPP), a province-wide
initiative of The Land Conservancy, brings a collaborative
approach to uniting ecological conservation with sustainable
agriculture values and practices. The program supports and
promotes our partners - exemplary farmers, ranchers,
orchardists and vineyard owners who use their land not only to
produce food, but also to protect natural habitat and
biodiversity. Our partners are distinguished by our
butterfly label, a logo to spark public interest in this community
of agriculturalists and their contribution to the long-term
viability of food production and ecosystem health in BC.
Upcoming work parties
