A Wikipedia description: The Dominion Arboretum is an arboretum part of the Central Experimental Farm. Originally begun in 1889, the Arboretum covers about 26 hectares (64 acres) of rolling land between Prince of Wales Drive, Dow's Lake and the Rideau Canal.

The Farm (left) and the Rideau Canal Hartwell Locks. Public Works and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada were prepared to sell 108 acres of land near the Hartwell Locks to an entertainment company. The Honourary Chairperson of the Council of Canadians Maude Barlow criticized the plan: "(Ms. Barlow) said the project would create a theme park atmosphere and lead to the privatization of the Experimental Farm."

"Urban lands are inherited---representing a legacy to be passed on to future generations." (From: Capital Urban Lands Plan [PDF]page 35/123.)

"In coming years, the long-term ecological and scientific outlook for preserving the Central Experimental Farm and the Arboretum should be validated in an update to the existing 2005 master plan." (From: The Plan for Canada's Capital, 2017-2067 - page 40/95.)

"Key federal holdings in the Urban Lands Study Area, such as the Central Experimental Farm (a National Historic Site of Canada) and the Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) are of rich heritage value." (From: Capital Urban Lands Plan [PDF] page 16/123.)
