bullet2 A029 A guide to agroforestry in British Colombia

The Small Woodlands Program of British Colombia, Canada.

From the website... "This illustrated guidebook is designed to provide owners of private forest land or agricultural land in British Columbia, with easy-to-use information about agroforestry. It is not intended to cover everything there is to know about all types of agroforestry in all parts of the province. Instead, the guide provides information landowners can use to make their own decisions about what agroforestry systems (if any) best suit their circumstances."

The Small Woodlands Program of BC delivers training and extension services to private forest landowners in British Columbia. The program focuses on non-industrial private forest land that is not currently committed to sustainable forestry. The goal is to increase landowner knowledge of sustainable forest management, and eventually increase the province's wood supply
