Pemberton Agricultural Parks Plan
In partnership with the Village of Pemberton, Stewardship Pemberton Society developed the Pemberton Agricultural Parks Master Plan to guide the creation of agricultural parkland in Pemberton and Area C. Project goals were to raise awareness regarding local food systems, engage the public, reduce greenhouse gas emissions through local food initiatives, increase food sustainability, security and address food justice issues in our communities.
The Agricultural Master Plan outlines three agriculturally suited sites owned by the Village of Pemberton, and provides recommendations to use the parcels for community agriculture programs.
Site A: Located adjacent to the Village of Pemberton (VoP) Airport landing strip.
Sites B & C: Two adjacent parcels located at the rural-urban interface between the VoP and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD). Site B is also referred to as Lot 20, and Site C is also referred to as Lot 8.
Site D: Located under BC Hydro power lines immediately adjacent to Signal Hill Elementary School. Also referred to as Lot 13.
Project Updates:
Site D, at Lot 13, is being developed into a Multimodal Transport Hub and Community Garden. Read more about the upcoming Portage Road Community Garden!
