  • Pasture Landscape

    Pasture Landscape

    More than a third of Canada’s 68 million hectares classified as agricultural land isn’t suitable for planting crops because it is too rocky, hilly, wet or dry. Often these areas are put to use as pasture for grazing livestock, but many do double-duty as excellent wildlife habitats.
