Lee Hesketh, manager of the Farm Riparian Interface Stewardship Program, and organizer of the tour noted, "...it was an excellent opportunity for cattle producers from around the province to see examples of agroforestry in action, and hopefully stimulate ideas of how these multiple use systems can be adapted to work at home."
The tour, held in conjunction with the 85th Annual BC Cattlemen's Association AGM in Vernon, BC focused on successful examples of agroforestry used on ranches and Crown lands to diversify production, and to generate economic, conservation and social benefits.
