SUMMARY:Sep 21\, 2025: Land Sharing Workshop – Grand Forks\, BC
DESCRIPTION:GOT LAND? WANT LAND? If you’re looking to access farmland\, or are curious about sharing your land with a farmer\, then join us in Grand Forks on September 21st to start your land sharing journey with the B.C. Land Matching Program! \nWhy share land? The number of farmers in B.C. has been declining for several decades\, and thousands of local farms have disappeared. Farm operators are ageing out of farming and retiring\, but with the cost of farmland at an all-time high\, many new farmers can’t afford to buy land and continue their legacy. That’s why the B.C. Land Matching Program exists\, and our annual educational land sharing workshops offer an opportunity for farmers and landholders to connect with each other and learn how to share land. \nJoin Pascale – the B.C. Land Matching Program Manager\, and Nyree – the Columbia Basin Land Matcher\, to learn how you can access land for a farm business or make your land available to a farmer. They will explain how sharing land can be mutually beneficial for farmers and landholders\, as well as highlight best practices\, relevant regulations and legal considerations\, and tips for building and maintaining a successful land sharing relationship. \nYou’ll leave the workshop with the knowledge\, resources and connections needed to start your own land sharing journey! \nDATE: Sunday\, September 21\, 2025 • 1-3pm PDT \nLOCATION: Ktunaxa\, Secwepemc\, Syilx\, and Sinixt Territories. Grand Forks & District Public Library\, 7342 5th St\, Grand Forks\, BC \nDIRECTIONS/PARKING: The Grand Forks & District Public Library is located on 5th Street\, just off of Central Avenue in Grand Forks\, BC. Free parking is available in the library parking lot\, or on the adjacent streets. Carpooling is encouraged – if you are looking for or can offer a ride to or from the event\, you can organize carpooling through the Facebook event (coming soon). Please do not bring pets to the event. Kids are welcome! More information below. \nREGISTER HERE: https://youngagrarians.org/sep-21-2025-land-sharing-grand-forks-bc
