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
