This project explores the intersection of agriculture and biodiversity in Delta, British Columbia, one of Canada’s most productive farming regions and a key biodiversity area used by migratory and breeding birds, (DFWT 2024). As conventional farming practices continue to reshape this landscape, many species face habitat loss. Rather than proposing a site-specific design intervention, this graduate project results in a field guide for farmers that promotes bird-friendly land management. This project highlights the role landscape architects can play as translators between ecological research and applied land management. By making conservation recommendations more accessible, context-sensitive, and species-specific, this work contributes to ongoing efforts to integrate biodiversity goals within the realities of active farmland.
