Parkland Agroforestry Inc.'s members are landowners in the North East corner of Saskatchewan, Canada.  The land base owned by members falls on to either the aspen parkland or the boreal transition eco zones.  

Much of the land base was cleared of trees to accommodate farming operations in the first half of the 20th Century. The remaining forest cover is predominantly Trembling Aspen and Balsam Poplar with some bluffs of White Spruce and Jack Pine. Other native species include White Birch, Tamarack and Black Spruce.  Manitoba Maple and American Elm are native to some of the more easterly areas.

While in the past many farms have supplemented their income by harvesting lumber and wood from their land, very few farms actively managed the tree stands.  Members of Parkland Agroforestry believe that good management of native stands and appropriate planting of new stands could offer significant economic, environment and social benefits.
