The Experimental Farm - the impending loss of 700 trees( and 700 acres of land?)

A 1974 Ottawa Journal article.TOH President and CEO Cameron Love envisions a Hospital Row along Carling Avenue similar to Toronto's Hospital Row. And the trees that can last for 1,000 years; the Arboretum, Fletcher Wildlife Garden; Ornamental Gardens; Dominion Observatory; research fields; barns, museums and greenhouses; Maple Drive; Birch Drive; Winding Lane; Cow Lane; the Scenic Driveway; Prince of Wales Drive; views of the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site; Commissioners Park; Tulip Festival and many more irreplaceable landmarks are nothing more than collateral damage. 
The terms National Historic Site of Canada; UNESCO World Heritage Site; Section 1V of the Ontario Provincial Heritage Act; National Interest Land Mass; and Jacques Greber's 900 square mile memorial to Canadian solders apparently mean nothing. 

"Federal buildings and grounds which are national historic sites of Canada should receive the highest protection and their significance should be communicated to the public." (From:" Plan for Canada's Capital-1999-National Capital Commission". Lands of National Significance, page 69/127.)

In 1998, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada named the CEF a National Historic Site and a Cultural Landscape.
