Alberta’s working lands support agriculture, rural communities, and important ecological functions. Through practical case studies, this session explores how agroforestry, conservation easements, stewardship incentives, and collaborative land-use strategies can enhance ecological and economic resilience while maintaining productive landscapes. Discover how landowners and partners are finding new ways to recognize the full value of nature and advance conservation alongside agricultural production.

Participants will leave with:
-A stronger understanding of how conservation and agricultural production can work together on private and working lands.
-Practical examples of agroforestry, conservation easements, stewardship incentives, and land-use planning that support both ecological and economic resilience.
-Insight into how landowners and cross-sector partners can collaborate to protect ecological connectivity while maintaining productive landscapes.
