The National Farmers Foundation has a board of directors made up of five persons known for their commitment to education and research for the benefit of the family farm in Canada. The directors are in sympathy with the goals, objectives, and policy of the National Farmers Union. Representatives of various sectors in the country, such as family farmers, organic product marketers, new rural development groups, churches, rural youth and women, and urban consumers supported the establishment of the organization. Many of these have identified a vacuum with respect to accessible education and plain language research to help direct the crucial ventures in rural development which will mean not only survival, but the thriving of rural communities into the twenty - first century. A new awareness of the interdependence of rural and urban communities creates a challenge to promote action-oriented education and research which will create and enhance positive rural/urban cooperation.

The Wild Pacific Trail is a hiking and interpretive trail located in the village of Ucluelet. The trail skirts the rugged cliffs and shoreline along the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It overlooks Barkley Sound and the Broken Group Islands to the east and the open Pacific Ocean to the south and west. Our Vision is to create a spectacular trail system tracing scenic and cultural areas on the Ucluth Peninsula, especially the outer coast from Amphitrite lighthouse to the beaches of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The trail offers an outdoor hiking experience that is free and appropriate for all fitness levels, for many generations to come. Our goal is to maintain a trail corridor that preserves a natural setting and enhances the walking experience through interpretive signage about culture, history and nature.
