Agriculture Hits the Trails Project

Agriculture Hits the Trails is a communications and awareness campaign focusing on agricultural and environmental messages targeting outdoor enthusiasts in the Greenbelt in Ontario.  This includes families and outdoors enthusiasts who use walking and cycling trails and enjoy outdoor activities.

A key feature of this program is educational signage that have been placed along hiking trails within the Greenbelt.

The goal of the project is to communicate important messages about farming and environmental stewardship to outdoor enthusiasts.  Farmers are doing great things for the environment (Environmental Farm Plans, nutrient management, crop rotation, minimum tillage and other stewardship projects) and trails through farmland provide an excellent backddrop to tell outdoor enthusiasts about farmers' activities.
